NAME
  python-openflow - low level library to parse OpenFlow messages

DESCRIPTION
  python-openflow is a low level library to parse OpenFlow messages. If you want
  to read an OpenFlow packet from an open socket or send a message to an OpenFlow
  switch, this is your best friend. The main features are: high performance, latest
  specification compliance, short learning curve and free software license.

  This library is part of Kytos project, a collaborative project between SPRACE
  (from São Paulo State University, Unesp) and Caltech (California Institute of
  Technology). python-openflow was developed to be used with Kytos controller,
  but feel free to use this simple and intuitive library in another project with
  another controller.

OVERVIEW

  This is just an overview for you to check whether this project fits your needs.
  For a more detailed documentation, please check the python-openflow API Reference
  Manual at http://docs.kytos.io/python-openflow.

USAGE
  For example, see how it is easy to create a feature request message with this
  library. You can use ipython3 to get the advantages of autocompletion:

    >>> from pyof.v0x01.controller2switch.features_request import FeaturesRequest
    >>> request = FeaturesRequest(xid = 100)
    >>> print(request.header.message_type)
    Type.OFPT_FEATURES_REQUEST
    >>> print(request.header.xid)
    100

  If you need to send this message via socket, call the pack() method to get its
  binary representation:

    >>> binary_msg = request.pack()

SUPPORT
  We are available in IRC and there is also a development mailing list. Details are
  available in the full documentation.

CONTRIBUTING
  Contributions are welcome either by creating issues in GitHub or in the form of
  pull requests. Before, please, read the contribution and hacking guides in the
  main documentation.
