[pox-dev] Pox CLI namespace

[William Emmanuel S. Yu]

Ah I want to share the namespace so best I use the core.Interactive.variables mechanism. So best I wrap my firewall table and helper functions in an object. Then I instanciate it in the of.firewall module then add it to core.Interactive.variables. I guess that should work?

Well, you can always "import" your module.
Additionally, the POX core object is available as "core", so if you put your component there, you can easily get it.
You can also add whatever variables you want by adding them to core.Interactive.variables.  Check the launch() function of arp_responder for an example.
