calico/build repository overview

⁠libcalico

NOTE: Python libcalico is no longer being actively developed, and as such is likely to become out-of-date and potentially incompatible with newer Calico versions and features. Instead, it is strongly recommended to use the Golang library, libcalico-go⁠. Feel free to contribute patches to this repo as the maintainers will continue to review and merge community PRs.

Libcalico is a library for interacting with the Calico data model. It also contains code for working with veths.

• It's written in Python (though ports into other languages would be welcomed as PRs)
• It currently just talks to etcd as the backend datastore.

It's currently focused on the the container side of Calico, though again PRs are welcomed to make it more general.
