  Description     : ISC DHCP OMAPI protocol implementation in Python

This module grew out of frustration about pyomapi and later pyomapic. The
extension modules mentioned can be used to query the ISC DHCP server for
information about leases. pyomapic does this job using swig and the static
library provided with ISC DHCP. It leaks and has basically no error checking.
Adding error checking later turned out to be a maintenance hell with swig, so
a pure Python implementation for omapi, pypureomapi was born. It can mostly
be used as a drop-in replacement for pyomapic. 

Cygnus Networks GmbH has employed this package in production for at
least three months without problems. The source tarball already includes
a debian directory, so it should be little work to add this package to
Debian.
