Direct Access Dictionary

This acts like a dict, but it provides a direct attribute access to its keys through its values. This is used to store protocols, manuf…

For instance, scapy fields will use a DADict as an enum:

ETHER_TYPES[2048] -> IPv4

Whereas humans can access:

ETHER_TYPES.IPv4 -> 2048

ident(v: _V) → str

Return value that is used as key for the direct access

iterkeys() → Iterator[_K]

itervalues() → Iterator[_V]

keys() → List[_K]

update(*args: Dict[str, _V], **kwargs: Dict[str, _V]) → None

values() → List[_V]

exception scapy.dadict.DADict_Exception

Bases: Scapy_Exception

scapy.dadict.fixname(x: bytes | str) → str

Modifies a string to make sure it can be used as an attribute name.
