Hello, Recently joined the list, but reviewed the archives as best I could. I figured before I get too far in writing this, I should ask here.
I'm looking for a way to create and configure WireGaurd interfaces programmatically using Python. Has anyone created a Python wrapper for the wireguard-tools? If not, could I try my hand at it? In my research, I was not able to find any true libraries supporting configuring a WireGuard implementation. Since wireguard-tools [1] is cross-platform, and Python is cross-platform, I wanted a cross-platform library to configure WireGuard interfaces. This would help application programmers or tool developers who want to utilize WireGuard as part of the application or tool written in Python, potentially cross-platform. I did see wgnlpy [2], but don't think it is a fit since it relies on Netlink (Linux kernel interface), so it's not cross-platform. I also found a few other packages on Pypi, but none of them seemed to interface with the WireGuard module interfaces. In the wireguard-tools repository, I noticed the embeddable-wg-library [3] with C source and header. Python (using CFFI) supports creating an extension module that is compiled from C sources to directly invoke the target C function [4]. It claims to be fast, simple, and platform-agnostic (by that, I mean it can be compiled for any platform). I am planning on writing a python module to expose the C functions from the embeddable-wg-library using CFFI. Does this make sense? Any comments, gotchas, or limitations?
