py-pf

py-pf is a pure-Python module for managing OpenBSD's Packet Filter. It aims to add powerful and flexible scripting capabilities to PF, making integration with third-party software (like IDS, web-based configuration interfaces or custom management scripts) much easier.

It runs on Python 3, which is available through OpenBSD's packages and ports system.

Installation

# python setup.py install

Tests

# python setup.py test
