Packet Construction Set is a set of Python modules and objects that make building network protocol code easier for the protocol developer.

The core of the system is the pcs module itself which provides the necessary functionality to create classes that implement packets.

Installation Instructions for Packet Construction Set (PCS)

PCS follows the normal Python conventions for building and installing and there is very little, if any, magic. To install the library and the associated packet classes into your system do:

> python setup.py install < return >

To test your installation do:

> cd tests/ < return >
> python *.py

Some tests fail if you do not have enough privileges to work with the Berkeley Packet Filter. If you wish to run those tests run them using sudo.

To build the documentation you will need pdflatex and a BSD version of make installed. Go into the docs directory and build the documentation:

> cd docs/ < return >
> bsdmake all

you will see PDF versions of the docs.
