Universal communication interface using File-Like API
Project description
Pylink offers a universal communication interface using File-Like API. For now, only the TCP, UDP, Serial and GSM interfaces are supported.
The aim of this project is to allow any type of communication. It is best suited for projects that have various ways of communicating including IP remote or local serial communication.
Installation
You can install, upgrade, uninstall pylink with these commands:
$ pip install pylink $ pip install --upgrade pylink $ pip uninstall pylink
Or if you don’t have pip:
$ easy_install pylink
Examples
>>> from pylink import TCPLink, link_from_url >>> link = TCPLink('localhost', 7) # conntect to echo tcp service >>> link.write('Hello') 2012-06-05 12:44:06,211 INFO: new <TCPLink tcp:127.0.0.1:7> was initialized 2012-06-05 12:44:06,211 INFO: Write : <b'hello'> >>> link.read() == 'Hello' 2012-06-05 12:44:06,312 INFO: Read : <'hello'> True
With GSMLink, you shoud specify the modem connection link:
>>> from pylink import GSMLink, SerialLink >>> link = GSMLink("0678986955", SerialLink("/dev/ttyUSB0", 38400)) >>> link.open() 2012-06-29 15:13:31,637 INFO: new <SerialLink serial:/dev/ttyUSB0:38400:8N1> was initialized 2012-06-29 15:13:31,637 INFO: GSM : Call 0678986955 2012-06-29 15:13:31,638 INFO: Write : <u'ATD0678986955\r\n'> 2012-06-29 15:13:31,648 INFO: GSM : <u'call in progress'> 2012-06-29 15:13:41,649 INFO: GSM : <u'call in progress'> 2012-06-29 15:14:08,075 INFO: Read : <u'\r\nCONNECT 9600\r\n\n\r\n\r\n\r'> 2012-06-29 15:14:08,076 INFO: GSM : <u'Client is ready (\r\nCONNECT 9600\r\n\n\r\n\r\n\r)'> >>> link.write("TEST\n") 2012-06-29 15:14:16,193 INFO: Write : <u'TEST\n'> >>> link.read() 2012-06-29 15:14:24,972 INFO: Read : <u'\n\rTEST\n\r'> TEST >>> link.close() 2012-06-29 15:29:09,295 INFO: Write : <u'+++'> 2012-06-29 15:29:10,318 INFO: Read : <u'\r\nOK\r\n'> 2012-06-29 15:29:10,318 INFO: Write : <u'ATH\r\n'> 2012-06-29 15:29:10,336 INFO: Read : <u'\r\nOK\r\n'> 2012-06-29 15:29:10,337 INFO: GSM : Hang-up 2012-06-29 15:29:10,437 INFO: Connection <SerialLink serial:/dev/ttyUSB0:38400:8N1> was closed
