verified May 21, 2026

pyroute2 is a pure Python library for Linux network management using the Netlink socket API. It provides a programmatic interface to the same functionality as `iproute2` utilities, supporting various Netlink protocols like RTNL (IP settings, routing), WireGuard, nftables, nl80211 (WiFi), and more. Starting from version 0.9.1, its core has been rewritten to be `asyncio`-based, with synchronous APIs implemented as wrappers for compatibility. The current version is 0.9.5, with an active release cadence.
