Hi! Sorry for using this place for reporting this issue, as I'm aware the problem is not here.

I wanted to share this analysis with you because you may already know where the problem is.

I was translating some nft cli bash scripts to python and tried to apply what I learned in https://man.archlinux.org/man/extra/nftables/libnftables-json.5.en , but I could not make it work.

I made a repo with the minimal example that shows the difference: https://github.com/franalbani/nftableson

Thanks for your time and forgive me if this is inappropriate.

In Debian systems, the nftables python module is included in the python3-nftables package

Is there a git repository or pip installable package for python3-nftables which can be used for non-Debian systems?

i just switched the "add" cmd into a "delete" and that crashed my python process, i guess i should be using handles but it's not obvious how to do that via this json interface.

https://github.com/aborrero/python-nftables-tutorial/blob/main/nft-load-example-ruleset.py#L81

Step 2 throws this error: ERROR: failed validating json schema: No module named 'jsonschema'

pip install jsonschema does not fix this issue.

Running on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with python3-nftables installed via package manager. Python 3.8.
