If you want to read an OpenFlow packet from an open socket or send a message to an OpenFlow switch, this is your best friend. The main features are: high performance, latest specification compliance, short learning curve and free software license.

This library is part of Kytos project, a collaborative project between SPRACE (from São Paulo State University, Unesp) and Caltech (California Institute of Technology). python-openflow was developed to be used with Kytos controller, but feel free to use this simple and intuitive library in another project with another controller.
