pybess-grpc

pybess

pybess is a Python library which lets you interact with BESS using gRPC.

Installation

You can install the library directly using pip/pip3:

pip3 install pybess_grpc

Usage

As mentioned above pybess can be used to communicate with BESS over gRPC.

An example of usage of this library is to list all BESS ports remotely:

import sys

from google.protobuf.json_format import MessageToDict
from pybess_grpc.bess import BESS

bess = BESS()
try:
    bess.connect(grpc_url="%s:10514" % sys.argv[1])
    ports = bess.list_ports()
    print(MessageToDict(ports)["ports"])
finally:
    bess.disconnect()
