libfiu python wrapper

This module is a wrapper for the libfiu, the fault injection C library.

It provides an almost one-to-one mapping of the libfiu functions, although its
primary use is to be able to test C code from within Python.

For fault injection in Python, a native library would be more suitable.

See libfiu's manpage for more detailed documentation.
