Yep, just experimenting with python-networkmanager, it seems this is one
of the details it looks after: IP addresses are translated to strings,
endianness is taken care of, etc. Dicts are plain Python dicts.
Just looking at the documentation there though, am I correct in assuming
that to set up a simple connection, you would have a dict of the form:
{'connection': { global connection settings },
'ipv4': { IPv4 address settings },
'ipv6': { IPv6 address settings },
}
and so the 'connection' bit would be mandatory, and you might have *one*
each of the other setting types?
