Netsim python gRPC library

This contains a python library to interact with Netsim gRPC frontend service

Development

If you wish to do development you can create a virtual environment and generate python files from .proto files by running:

 . ./configure.sh

Usage

NetsimClient() is the Netsim gRPC Frontend Client Service connecting to netsim daemon. Users should use a NetsimClient to interact with netsim daemon by calling the provided APIs.

from netsim import netsim

netsim_client = netsim.NetsimClient()
devices = netsim_client.get_devices()

The currently supported APIs include:

• get_version(): Get the version of the netsim daemon.
• get_devices(): Get detailed information for all devices connected to netsim daemon.
• set_position(): Set the position and/or orientation of the specified device.
• set_radio(): Set the specified radio chip's state of the specified device.
• reset(): Reset all devices.

Adding dependencies

Configure will use the local python interpreter, which does not have TLS support, so all the package must be made available locally!

If you need to add a package, make the source package available under the repo directory. The easiest way to do this is:

 pip3 install pip2pi
 pip3 download  --no-binary ":all:"  my-package=1.2.3 -d repo
 dir2pi repo
