Description: # RawSocketPy
        
        Raw socket is a layer 2 python library for communication using the MAC addresses only. 
        
        This allows you to create a custom made Ethernet/WiFi communication system which is **not** using IP nor TCP/UDP or to debug custom frames such as SERCOS III, Profibus, ARP, PTP, ...
        
        Python versions tested:
        
        - [x] 2.7.x
        - [x] 3.5.x
        
        OSes:
        
        - [ ] Linux 14.04
        - [x] Linux 16.04
        - [ ] Linux 18.04
        - [ ] Windows 10
        - [ ] Mac OSX
        
        **Pros:**
        
        - Low level
        - Not using TCP-UDP/IP
        - Dead simple
        - Can broadcast
        - MTU of 1500
        
        **Cons:**
        
        - Low level
        - Not using TCP-UDP/IP
        - No encryption
        - No fragmentation
        - **Requires root**
        - MTU of 1500
        
        ## Installation
        
        ```bash
        # Soon
        sudo -H pip install rawsocketpy
        
        # for now:
        git clone https://github.com/AlexisTM/rawsocket_python
        cd rawsocket_python
        sudo python setup.py install
        ```
        
        ## Fast testing
        
        On one computer:
        
        ```bash
        sudo python -c "from rawsocketpy import RawSocket
        sock = RawSocket('wlp2s0', 0xEEFA)
        while True: print(sock.recv())"
        
        # 12:34:56:78:9A:BC == 0xEEFA => FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF - OK:
        # Boo
        ```
        
        On the second computer:
        
        ```bash
        sudo python -c "from rawsocketpy import RawSocket
        sock = RawSocket('wlp2s0', 0xEEFA)
        >hile True: print(sock.send('Boo'))"
        ```
        
        ## In-depth
        
        ```python
        from rawsocketpy import RawSocket
        
        # 0xEEFA is the ethertype
        # The most common are available here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EtherType
        # The full official list is available here: https://regauth.standards.ieee.org/standards-ra-web/pub/view.html#registries 
        # Direct link: https://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/ethertype/eth.csv
        # You can use whatever you want but using a already use type can have unexpected behaviour.
        sock = RawSocket("wlp2s0", 0xEEFA)
        sock.send("some data") # Broadcast "some data" with an ethertype of 0xEEFA
        sock.send("personal data", dest="\xAA\xBB\xCC\xDD\xEE\xFF") # Send "personal data to \xAA\xBB\xCC\xDD\xEE\xFF with an ether type of 0xEEFA
        sock.send("other data", ethertype="\xEE\xFF") # Broadcast "other data" with an ether type of 0xEEFF
        ```
        
        ### Receiving
        
        On another machine, you can run the following:
        
        ```python
        from rawsocketpy import RawSocket, u_to_str
        
        sock = RawSocket("wlp2s0", 0xEEFA)
        packet = sock.recv()
        # The type of packet is RawPacket() which allows pretty printing and unmarshal the raw data.
        
        print(packet) # Pretty print
        packet.dest   # unicode string "\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF"
        packet.src    # unicode string "\x12\x12\x12\x12\x12\x13"
        packet.type   # unicode string "\xEE\xFA"
        packegt.data  # unicode string "some data"
        
        print u_to_str(packet.dest)     # Human readable MAC:  FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
        print u_to_str(packet.type, "") # Human readable type: EEFA
        ```
