getmac 0.7.0

on Python PyPI

Added

• Type annotations (PEP 484)

Removed

• Dropped support for Python 2.6
• Removed the usage of third-party packages (netifaces, psutil, scapy, and arpreq).
  This should improve the performance of lookups of non-existant interfaces
  or hosts, since feature was punishing that path without providing much value.
  If you want to use these packages directly, I have a guide on how to do so on a
  GitHub Gist.

Changed

• Significantly improved the performance of the common cases on Linux
  for interfaces and remote hosts
• Improved POSIX interface performance. Commands specific to OSX
  will be run only on that platform, and vice-versa.
• Significantly improved the speed and accuracy of determining
  the default interface on Linux
• Python 2 will install an executor named getmac2 and Python 3 an
  executor named getmac so they don't conflict when both RPMs are
  installed on the same system (Credit: @hargoniX)
• The warnings module will only be imported if a error/warning
  occurs (improve compatibility with some freezers, notably PyInstaller)
• Improved system platform detection
• Various other minor performance improvements

Development

• Added unit tests for the samples (Credit: @frizz925)
• Scripts for building RPMs in the /scripts directory (Credit: @hargoniX)
• Improved code quality and health checks
• Include the CHANGELOG on the PyPI project page
• Using pytest for all tests now instead of unittest

Documentation

• Added instructions on how to build a Debian package (Credit: @kofrezo)
