Hello.

I would like to discuss the possibility to replace external ip monitor 
in the neutron code [1] with an internal native Python code [2]

The issues of the current implementation:
* an external process management
* text output parsing (possibly buffered)

The proposed library:
* pure Python code
* threadless (by default) socket-like objects to work with netlink
* optional eventlet optimization
* netlink messages as native python objects
* compatible license

If it's ok, I would prepare a patchset this week.
