|
| 103 |
|
| 104 | * Python API: To avoid conflicts between VPP API messages names and the Python API binding function names, the VPP API methods are put into a separate proxy object https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/5570/
|
| 105 |
|
| 106 | The api methods are now referenced as: vpp_handle = VPP(jsonfiles) vpp_handle.connect(...) vpp = vpp_handle.api vpp.show_version() vpp_handle.disconnect()
|
| 107 |
|
| 108 | For backwards compatibility VPP API methods are left in the main name space (VPP), but will be removed from 17.07.
