Setting Network settings from Python/Django on a Linux/Ubuntu machine

Question

I'm working on a simple web interface for an embedded computer. The computer will ship with a static default ip that will then need to be updated by the install tech who may not be tech/linux savvy.

Basicly I need to change the following system settings from a Django app.

1. IP Addres
2. Subnet
3. Default Gateway
4. DNS Servers 1&2

I realize that I can could just overwrite the config files in linux but I was wondering if there is a more "Python" way of doing it.

Answer 1

Have a look at pynetlinux on Github:

It is a good starting point and you can add the remaining functionality yourself quite easily I would imagine.
