9 Description: netifaces provides a (hopefully portable-ish) way for Python programmers to
10 get access to a list of the network interfaces on the local machine, and to
11 obtain the addresses of those network interfaces.
13 The package has been tested on Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux
14 and Solaris. On Windows, it is currently not able to retrieve IPv6
15 addresses, owing to shortcomings of the Windows API.
17 It should work on other UNIX-like systems provided they implement
18 either getifaddrs() or support the SIOCGIFxxx socket options, although the
19 data provided by the socket options is normally less complete.
