Python bindings for kmod/libkmod
kmod is a set of tools to handle common tasks with Linux kernel modules like insert, remove, list, check properties, resolve dependencies and aliases.
These tools are designed on top of libkmod, a library that is shipped with kmod. It can be found at:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/kernel/kmod/kmod.git;a=summary
python-kmod is a Python wrapper module for libkmod, exposing common module operations: listing installed modules, modprobe, and rmmod. It is at:
https://github.com/agrover/python-kmod
>>> import kmod >>> km = kmod.Kmod() >>> km.loaded_modules() [('nfs', 407706), ('nfs_acl', 12741) ... ('virtio_blk', 17549)] >>> km.modprobe("btrfs") >>> km.rmmod("btrfs")
Ensure Python, Cython, and the kmod headers are installed and run:
$ python setup.py build
