pyenet

pyenet is a python wrapper for the ENet library by Lee Salzman, http://enet.bespin.org

It was originally written by Scott Robinson [email protected] and is currently maintained by Andrew Resch [email protected]

This fork is being maintained by the piqueserver team for purposes of including patches for bugs found while developing piqueserver, and to provide a package on pypi.

License

pyenet is licensed under the BSD license, see LICENSE for details. enet is licensed under the MIT license, see http://enet.bespin.org/License.html

Dependencies

Building pyenet requires all the same dependencies as enet plus Cython and, obviously, Python.

Installation

From pypi

pip install pyenet

Manually from git

Note: the enet sources are automatically downloaded from http://enet.bespin.org/ by setup.py.

This version of pyenet requires enet 1.3.

Run the setup.py build:

$ python setup.py build

Once that is complete, install the new pyenet module:

# python setup.py install

Usage

Once you have installed pyenet, you only need to import the enet module to start using enet in your project.

Example server:

>>> import enet
>>> host = enet.Host(enet.Address("localhost", 33333), 1, 0, 0)
>>> event = host.service(0)

Example client:

>>> import enet
>>> host = enet.Host(None, 1, 0, 0)
>>> peer = host.connect(enet.Address("localhost", 33333), 1)
