  • class refactor - distinguish between "actions" and ACL attributes , move "actions"/"settings" under ACL.Meta class
  • unittests
  • Cartesian product supports None values: src_ip': None, 'dst_ip': None, 'action': None}
  • drop order_* methods
  • option to raise exceptions in validate_

IMO match method should return only True/False if the rule is/not matched by the check. This should only check if A contains B.

I think it is reasonable to have different levels.

I think, I see this in a little different way :

def match_action(action, match_action):
    deny_actions = ['deny', 'drop', 'reset client', 'reset server', ...]
    if action in deny_actions and match_action in deny_actions:
        return True
    else:
        return False

I would really like to avoid putting opinionated logic into generic match resolution while we provide easily extensible framework
