Hi,

I'm not close to Neutron's discussions but do you think to have a look at
pyroute2 [1]?
"Pyroute2 is a pure Python netlink and Linux network configuration library.
It requires only Python stdlib, no 3rd party libraries."
Which permits to create bridge and adding interfaces easily [2] (but not
only...).
