[nox-dev] hw_addr in datapath_join (stats) is ugly

[Glen Gibb]

datapath_join events in Python pass in a dpid and stats dictionary. The 
hardware address in stats['ports']['hw_addr'] are "ugly" -- the data 
type is a string.


To use the hardware address in Python I have to do the following 
(assuming I want an int):


   hw_addr = "\0\0" + port[core.HW_ADDR]
   hw_addr = struct.unpack("!q", hw_addr)[0]

Two questions:
1. Is there a cleaner way to do the above?
2. Would it make sense to change nox to return either a Long or an 
ethernetaddr object instead of the string?

[nox-dev] 0.4 tag in noxrepo/nicira internal repo

[Glen Gibb]

Just a quick heads-up that no one has tagged the 0.4 release in either 
tree (noxrepo/nicira internal).


Not critical, but thought you might want to do it before it gets 
forgotten completely.
