API changes
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Python API: To avoid conflicts between VPP API messages names and the
|
||
|
|
Python API binding function names, VPP API methods are put in a
|
||
|
|
separate proxy object. https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/5570/ The api
|
||
|
|
methods are now referenced as: vpp_handle = VPP(jsonfiles)
|
||
|
|
vpp_handle.connect(…) vpp = vpp_handle.api vpp.show_version()
|
||
|
|
vpp_handle.disconnect()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For backwards compatibility VPP API methods are left in the main name
|
||
|
|
space (VPP), but will be removed from 17.07.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Python API: Change from cPython to CFFI.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- create_loopback message to be replaced with create_loopback_instance
|
||
|
|
create_loopback will be removed from 17.07.
