Like "ipaddress", but for hardware identifiers such as MAC addresses

Description

This Python module is used for handling hardware identifiers like MAC addresses and makes it easy to:

* check if a string represents a valid MAC address, or a similar hardware identifier like an EUI-64, OUI, etc, * convert between string and binary forms of MAC addresses and other hardware identifiers,

and so on.

Heavily inspired by the ipaddress module, but not yet quite as featureful.

Install

As a binary package — by origin, or by package name:

pkg install net/py-macaddress
pkg install py312-macaddress

From the ports tree:

cd /usr/ports/net/py-macaddress/ && make install clean

To depend on this port in another port's Makefile:

RUN_DEPENDS=	py312-macaddress>0:net/py-macaddress
