If you’ve never worked with git or contributed to a project on Github, there is a quick start guide.

If you find something wrong or know of a missing feature, please create an issue on the project page. If you find that inconvenient or have some security concerns, you could also drop me a line at <devel@beli.sk>.

How to use

Install

pip install pywake

Examples

Wake up a MAC with default settings (IPv6 UDP packet to “all nodes” multicast address ff02::1 and port 9 - discard):

pywake 00:11:22:33:44:55

You may need to specify a source interface (or scope) for the multicast packets if there are more possibilities:

pywake -d ff02::1%eth0 00:11:22:33:44:55

Or use a plain old IPv4 UDP subnet directed broadcast:

pywake -4 -d 192.168.1.255 00:11:22:33:44:55
