python-lxns is a library to interact with Linux kernel namespaces.

The library is split in to different modules each implementing a different area of functionality:

• Namespaces
  • BaseNamespace
    • BaseNamespace.__init__()
    • BaseNamespace.close()
    • BaseNamespace.fileno()
    • BaseNamespace.from_pid()
    • BaseNamespace.from_self()
    • BaseNamespace.get_current_limit()
    • BaseNamespace.get_current_ns_id()
    • BaseNamespace.get_user_namespace()
    • BaseNamespace.ns_id
    • BaseNamespace.set_current_limit()
    • BaseNamespace.setns()
    • BaseNamespace.unshare()
  • UserNamespace
  • MountNamespace
  • NetworkNamespace
  • IpcNamespace
  • CgroupNamespace
  • PidNamespace
  • TimeNamespace
  • UtsNamespace
  • ALL_NAMESPACE_CLASSES
  • unshare_namespaces()
• Mount utilities
  • ClonedTree
    • ClonedTree.__init__()
    • ClonedTree.close()
    • ClonedTree.mount()
• Tips and tricks
