This is a simple Python library for dealing with the /etc/network/interfaces file in most Debian based distributions. This is forked from https://github.com/dggreenbaum/debinterface to refactor it and maybe extends it with wpa_supplicant handling

You'll find way more examples here
importdebinterface# Get a collection of objects representing the network adapters.adapters=debinterface.Interfaces().adapters# You get a list you can iterare over.# Each adapter has an 'export()' method that returns a dictionary of its options.# You can print the name of each adapter as follows:foradapterinadapters:
item=adapter.export()
print(item['name'])
# Write your new interfaces file as follows:# Any changes made with setter methods will be reflected with the new write.interfaces=debinterface.Interfaces()
interfaces.writeInterfaces()
# A backup of your old interfaces file will be generated when writing over the previous interfaces file# By defaults these paths are used :# INTERFACES_PATH='/etc/network/interfaces'# BACKUP_PATH='/etc/network/interfaces.old'# Paths can be customized when instanciating the Interfaces class:interfaces=debinterface.Interfaces(interfaces_path='/home/interfaces', backup_path='/another/custom/path')
# By defaults, interfaces file is read when instanciating the Interfaces class, to do it lazyly:interfaces=debinterface.Interfaces(update_adapters=False)
