  Description     : Python library for Linux wireless device control

  PyRIC is a Python library designed for wireless developers and penetration
  testers, providing the ability to programmatically identify, enumerate, and
  manipulate wireless network cards in Linux. It simplifies interactions with
  wireless hardware, eliminating the need for command-line tools and complex
  parsing operations.
  .
  PyRIC functions as a Python port of tools like iw and incorporates aspects
  of Netlink with respect to nl80211 functionality. It facilitates direct
  communication with the kernel using sockets, bypassing traditional
  command-line utilities for managing wireless interfaces. This library is
  especially useful for automating wireless network setups and teardowns,
  supporting a variety of network manipulations such as changing MAC
  addresses, managing IP settings, and toggling device states.

I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team.
