[GSoC 2013] Web Interface for Sharing Mininet Systems

PyPI for Mininet / Mininet Module Repository

The purpose of this project is to enable users to share their modules and have other users to be able to easily install it.

Packaging Format

Before any modules can be shared, a packaging format has to be defined for Mininet modules first. We have decided that the Mininet packaging format is just a plain old Python packaging format based on setuptools and distutils.

For a quick peek at how to convert existing modules to this packaging system, take a look at my commits:
