Not quite. It provides both, a scriptable Python API where you can build
your own topologies, along with a user-space binary which can set-up
ad-hoc networks easily.

However, they are focused on Open vSwitch/OpenFlow software switches.

Cool. Looking forward to have it in Debian, your tool sounds quite cool
and I have use cases for it. :)

I suggest you to support Open vSwitch as a drop-in replacement for
bridges though. It's /way/ more flexible than bridges.
