This repo contains Python standard library modules patched with VMCI support:

• vmci: socket with VMCI support
• asyncvmci: asyncore with VMCI support
• portfwd-vmci is a VMCI to TCP port forwarder that uses asyncore

These patched modules in this repository are all licensed under the same very liberal terms as Python itself. See LICENSE. It only supports Python 2 at the moment but should be portable to Python 3 with minimal effort. Patches Welcome!

On Linux, make sure you have the bluetooth headers installed. The package is bluez-devel on Fedora and Red Hat and libbluetooth-dev on Ubuntu and Debian.

On Windows, make sure you have Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7 installed (http://aka.ms/vcpython27).
