optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --source_ip SOURCE_IP
                        The source IPv4 address to bind to.
  --source-port SOURCE_PORT
                        The source port to bind to.
  --stun-host STUN_HOST
                        The STUN host to use for queries.
  --stun-port STUN_PORT
                        The port of the STUN host to use for queries.

To use PyNAT inside a Python shell or project:

from pynat import get_ip_info
topology, ext_ip, ext_port = get_ip_info()

To also get information about the internal IP, if unknown:

topology, ext_ip, ext_port, int_ip = get_ip_info(include_internal=True)

Development

PyNAT versioning functions on a MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.[DEVELOP] model. Only stable, non development releases will be published to PyPI. Because PyNAT is still a beta project, the MAJOR increment will be 0. Minor increments represent new features. Patch increments represent problems fixed with existing features.
