I have python script that set the IP4 address for my wireless and wired interfaces. So far, I use subprocess command like :

Answer 1

With pyroute2.IPRoute:

from pyroute2 import IPRoute
ip = IPRoute()
index = ip.link_lookup(ifname='em1')[0]
ip.addr('add', index, address='192.168.0.1', mask=24)
ip.close()

With pyroute2.IPDB:

from pyroute2 import IPDB
ip = IPDB()
with ip.interfaces.em1 as em1:
    em1.add_ip('192.168.0.1/24')
ip.release()
