It still works absolutely like the previous bash version. Even the output is the same.
But it has 2 new features: --offset and --cpus. Also it uses argparse module and it's much easier to add new features now.

If you have 2 NICs with 4 queues and 1 socket with 8 cpus, you may be want
distribution like this:

eth0: [0, 1, 2, 3]
eth1: [4, 5, 6, 7]

so run:

rss-ladder eth0
rss-ladder --offset=4 eth1

If you have bugged NIC missing packets while RSS used on multiple CPUs
(it may be caused by DMA/RAM problems) you may use the following workaround:

bind all the NIC queues to one cpu, using:

rss-ladder eth0 --cpus 0

you also able to specify multiple cpus, e.g.:

rss-ladder eth0 --cpus 0 1

P.S: --cpus should be defined in the end of parameters, after device.

• Added: i40e-tune script, some intel nics freezes RSS/interrupts until you enable/disable RPS.
• Added: landscape, pypi and license badges
• Clarified: MIT license choice
• Fixed: detect_virt.py didn't support py3
• Fixed: bug with yellow colour on some terminals in ubuntu/debian
• Fixed: lscpu -e usage worked probably only in CentOS 6. Replaced with lscpu -p.
• Fixed: got rid of the brctl dependency. Now bridge util from iproute2 is in use. Also we don't gather bridge topology in case of systems without carbon reductor.
• Added: new method of gathering netdev topology - by ethtool data.
• Fixed: rx-buffers-increase worked only on RHEL-based systems.
• Fixed: infinite run of top-like utils with -n -1 didn't work
• Fixed: russian locale broke lscpu output parsing in server-info.
• Fixed: running on CentOS 7 out of box (there is no lspci installed by default).
• Fixed: server info fails if there is only 1 block device in system.

• python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.6 support
• six used
• thanx 2 @serbernar for help
• pytest used as test runner
• tests moved straight to packages (maybe bad decision)

• link-rate has highlighted errors
• softnet-stat-top has highlighted errors
• irqtop has highlighting for total irq counters if it is too big
• all threshold values moved to appropriate top-like utility from network-top
• nice refactoring, duplicity fighting and optimized imports return network-top to 118 lines from 138
• all libraries get rid of if __name__ == '__main__'
• missed-pkts-monitor has been deleted because it was doing the same task link-rate doing
• Makefile targets to run every top-like utility even on non-linux machine
• flake8 is in use for checking pep8 violations right in travis-ci

Aaaaand there are pretty much things to do.

Everything looks so beautiful and unified! :3

• colorama usage simplified colouring code
• prettytable allowed to get rid of all that "{0:>14} ...".format() magic.
• .__repr__()'s code of irqtop/link-rate just asking to be used in network-top without any changes

By the time, there is two new utils: maskify and subnet2iplist:

maskify: a46a0c4
subnet2iplist: 1c87bbe (really c53e505)

Nice looking (colors, highlighting, layout) and working top-like utils with examples in README.
Still has a lot of 💩 in codebase.
