You can find examples how to use pymachinetalk in ./examples/

import time from pymachinetalk.dns_sd import ServiceDiscovery import pymachinetalk.halremote as halremote sd = ServiceDiscovery() rcomp = halremote.RemoteComponent('anddemo', debug=False) rcomp.newpin('button0', halremote.HAL_BIT, halremote.HAL_OUT) rcomp.newpin('button1', halremote.HAL_BIT, halremote.HAL_OUT) led_pin = rcomp.newpin('led', halremote.HAL_BIT, halremote.HAL_IN) sd.register(rcomp) sd.start() try: while True: if rcomp.connected: print('LED status %s' %s str(led_pin.value) time.sleep(0.5) except KeyboardInterrupt: pass sd.stop()

Pymachinetalk is available on PyPI

You can easily install it via pip:

sudo apt install python-pip sudo pip install pymachinetalk

Note: If you need Python 2.7 support, use version 0.12.3 from PyPI.

Pymachinetalk depends on the machinetalk-protobuf, fysom, zeroconf and pyzmq Python packages.

Note that you need a recent version of fysom (> 2.0) for pymachinetalk to work properly.

On Debian based distributions you can use the following commands:

# install everything from pip sudo apt install python-pip pip install -e .[dev]

You can install pymachinetalk using the Python setuptools:

sudo python setup.py install
