PyObjectInterface 0.1.1rc0

Create a web interface to interact with a class

PyObjectInterface

Quickly control any python object through an async web interface.

pip install PyObjectInterface

from PyObjectInterface.WebController import create_WebController
import flask

app = flask.Flask('Demo')
any_python_object = ...
create_WebController(any_python_object, 'any_python_object', app)
app.run()

Example: Async Robot Control

The above interface was automatically created from:

class DriveMotor:
    def __init__(self, pin):
        self.pin = pin
        self.speed = 0

    def forward(self): ...
    def stop(self): ...

class Robot:
    def __init__(self):
        self.left_motor = DriveMotor(1)
        self.right_motor = DriveMotor(2)

    def forward(self): ...
    def stop(self): ...
    def left(self): ...
    def right(self): ...

Look at PyObjectInterface/examples/example.py for more information.
