py-mdns

• Simple python api for common zeroconf mdns operations.

Current Status:

• Abstracted backend mechanism from regular API usage.
• Unit test framework in place.
• Avahi Publisher is working.
• Example publisher & resolver is working.

Project Goals:

• Will initially be based from avahi api. Should interface what we can to allow for future Bonjour impl.
• Mostly does mdns publish & lookup.
• Should be able to resolve a single host name, or a group of names (tied to a dbus service).
• Should hide dbus and avahi calls as much as possible.
• Should present a simple API interface to downstream callers.
• Should allow for configurable wait time (if possible) while looking up a host.
• Should not be directly tied to a GUI API.
• API should return multiple lookup in a set or array.
• API should allow for some basic filtering of records based upon common use cases of lookup.
