A network traffic monitor for Linux and BSD. Outputs nice statistics, and can even output them to stdout/file as png image using vnstati for later display on a website or whatever. Neat!

Pretty close integration between python and lua through bindings. Call python functions and methods, import other files, create classes and more from lua; or call lua functions, require files, receive table values and more from python.

Ultimately pretty insane (some might say lunatic) but might come in handy at one point or another.

alternatives:

• wijnen/python-lua which allows using Python objects in lua and lua objects in python.
• scoder/lupa is one-way embedding of lua into python, but supports additional features such as coroutines, threading, iterating lua objects and so on.
