Hi, some preliminary report on dhcpy6:

There are currently some caveats to dhcpy6 that I identified to run it as non-root user / use it as drop-in DHCPv6 server: - It can't be installed via the usual python methods, as it expects a UNIX file structure at the installation path and dumps directories like `usr/` `bin/` and `etc/` there [1]; i.e. it can only be installed as root and sensibly used. - Setting the port to a non-standard port was removed in March [2] because there seemed to be no apparent use for it [3]. However, the dhcpy6 people seem open to the idea, to make the server runnable as non-root user, so it would be a small effort on our part (compared to writing a simple DHCPv6 server ourselves) to help them negate those caveats.
