One of the issues that came up in this review however, is that cffi is
not packaged in the most recent Ubuntu LTS (and likely other
distributions), although it is available in raring, and in a PPA
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/python-cffi [2]
nd https://launchpad.net/~pypy/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=precise
[3] respectively).
As a result of this, we wanted to get some feedback on which direction
is best to go:
a) cffi-only approach, this is obviously the simplest approach, and
works everywhere (assuming you can install a PPA, use pip, or similar
for cffi)
b) wait until the next LTS to move to this approach (requires waiting
until 2014 for PyPy support)
c) Support using either netifaces or cffi: most complex, and most
code, plus "one or the other" dependencies aren't well supported by
most tools as far as I know.
It doesn't appear to me that this is available for RHEL yet, although it
looks like they're working on it:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-cffi-0.6-4.el6
That's also going to need to happen before we can do this, I think.
