kmodpy
------

The libkmod2 is a library that provides an API for insertion, removal,
configuration and listing of kernel modules.

kmodpy is a Python ctypes wrapper module for libkmod, exposing common module
operations: listing of installed modules, modprobe, modinfo, show_depends and
rmmod.

Follows an example executed as root:

::

    >>> import kmodpy
    >>> km = kmodpy.Kmod()
    >>> [m for m in km.list()]
        [(u'nfs', 407706),
         (u'nfs_acl', 12741)
         ...
         (u'virtio_blk', 17549)]
    >>> km.modprobe("loop", extra_options="max_loop=8")
    >>> km.rmmod("loop")
    >>> list(km.modinfo("loop"))
        [('alias', 'char-major-10-237'), ('alias', 'block-major-7-*'),
         ('license', 'GPL'), ('parm', 'max_part:Maximum number of
         partitions per loop device'), ('parmtype', 'max_part:int'),
         ('parm', 'max_loop:Maximum number of loop
         devices'), ('parmtype', 'max_loop:int'), ('depends', ''),
         ('intree', 'Y'), ('vermagic', '3.12-1-amd64 SMP mod_unload
         modversions '), ('alias', 'devname:loop-control')]
    >>> list(km.show_depends("ext4"))
        ['mbcache', 'crc16', 'jbd2']
