(Copying from another response:) I know this lib, "problem" is, that you still have to handle NetworkManager with some strings, dictionaries etc. I would like to do it more Pythonic way, like:

Thanks for links, but I think, i read them all. Improving python-networkmanager could be fine, but i would like to do more higher interface, as I mentioned in response to Yegor. Something like Python nmcli. _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
