# P2PD
``[Coverage >= 82%] [Python >= 3.6] [Mac, Win, Nix, BSD, Android]``
**P2PD** is a new async networking library for Python. It's based on solving some of the problems with Python's existing APIs and supports P2P networking among other features.
## Installation
On non-windows systems make sure you have gcc and python3-devel installed.
python3 -m pip install p2pd
## Documentation
https://p2pd.readthedocs.io/
## Features
**P2PD** is a new project aiming to make peer-to-peer networking
simple and ubiquitous. P2PD can be used either as a library or as a service.
As a library P2PD is written in Python 3 using asyncio for everything.
As a service P2PD provides a REST API on http://127.0.0.1:12333/.
The REST API is provided for non-Python languages.
P2PD offers engineers the following features:
- Multiple strategies for establishing peer-to-peer direct connections.
- **Direct connect** = Connect to a reachable node.
- **Reverse connect** = Tell a node to connect to you.
- **TCP hole punching** = Simultaneous TCP connections.
- **TURN** = Use a proxy server as a last resort.
- **Advanced NAT detection.** P2PD can detect 7 different types of NATs and
5 different sub-types for a combined total of **35 unique NAT
configurations.** The result is better NAT bypass.
- **Smart TCP hole punching.** The TCP hole punching algorithm has been
designed to require minimal communication between peers to increase
the chances of success. The algorithm supports a diverse number of
NAT configurations for the best results possible.
- **Port forwarding (IPv4) and pin hole (IPv6.)** Automatically
handles opening ports on the router to increase reachability.
- **IPv6 ready from day 1.** Supports IPv4 and IPv6. Introduces a new
format for addresses that offers insight into a peer's
NIC cards, internal network, and NAT devices.
- **A new way to do network programming.** Focuses on NICs as the
starting point for building services. Introduces 'routes' as a
way to provide visibility into external addresses. You can build
services that support IPv4, IPv6, TCP, and UDP without writing
different code for each of them.
- **Language-agnostic REST API.** You can call **/p2p/open/name/addr**
then **/p2p/pipe/name** to turn any HTTP connection into a two-way relay
between a peer-to-peer connection.
- **Minimal dependencies.** Most of the code in P2PD uses the Python
standard library to improve portability and reduce packaging issues.
- **Built on open protocols.** P2PD uses **IRC** as a name system,
**STUN** for address lookups, **MQTT** for signaling messages, and
**TURN** for last resort message relaying.
All of these protocols have public infrastructure.
