netifaces is a binary Python extension. Outside of the installer, it's only used by CheckedIPAddress.get_matching_interface, which is only called from installer code. Make the import of netifaces optional to reduce the amount of dependencies for PyPI package use case. Binary extensions are especially annoying, because they depend on shared libraries, compiler, and header files to be present.

This is a set of libraries common to IPA clients and servers though mostly
geared currently towards command-line tools.
A brief overview:
config.py - identify the IPA server domain and realm. It uses python-dns to
try to detect this information first and will fall back to
/etc/ipa/default.conf if that fails.
ipautil.py - helper functions
entity.py - entity is the main data type. User and Group extend this class
(but don't add anything currently).
ipavalidate.py - basic data validation routines
