I've downloaded copies of pyDECnet from two places:

1: svn://akdesign.dyndns.org/pydecnet/trunk/pydecnet (using svn)
2: http://akdesign.dyndns.org:8080/resources/public/index.html

The current version of code  at the svn is revision 653.
The current version of the package is V1.1.0-rc2

Is there a difference between the two?
Which is the best source for pyDECnet?

If you visit the page at


it says the source for pyDECnet (now at V1.1.0) is now maintained on GitHub at


This is where I git clone’d it from when I recently upgraded my Raspberry Pi from buster to bookworm (and it involved some juggling with python in a virtual environment as described in the doc/install.txt document).

I recall Paul posting an announcement to the HECnet list about this last year.

My configuration is rather simple though - as I’ve just got a single Multinet link to Wiz’s area router (I’ve redacted the IPv4 address a.b.c.d on port #), essentially just -

circuit eth-0 Ethernet pcap:eth0 --random-address
circuit dmc-35 Multinet a.b.c.d:#:connect --cost 5
routing 35.699 --type l2router
node @/home/pi/HECnet/nodenames.dat
system --ident "PyDECnet on TNRTR (35.699)"
http --https-port 0 --http-port 8000 -4
api

where the nodenames.dat file is the HECnet node list I fetch from MIM::HECNET:nodenames.dat periodically.
