aio-usb-hotplug 3.0.0

Asynchronous generators yielding detected hotplug events on the USB buses

aio-usb-hotplug

aio-usb-hotplug is a Python library that provides asynchronous generators yielding detected hotplug events on the USB buses.

Requires Python >= 3.7.

Works with asyncio, curio and trio.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install aio-usb-hotplug.

pip install aio-usb-hotplug

Usage

Dump all hotplug events related to a specific USB device

from aio_usb_hotplug import HotplugDetector
from trio import run  # ...or asyncio, or curio

async def dump_events():
    detector = HotplugDetector.for_device(vid="1050", pid="0407")
    async for event in detector.events():
        print(repr(event))

trio.run(dump_events)

Run an async task for each USB device matching a VID/PID pair

from aio_usb_hotplug import HotplugDetector
from trio import sleep_forever


async def handle_device(device):
    print("Handling device:", repr(device))
    try:
        # Do something meaningful with the device. The task gets cancelled
        # when the device is unplugged.
        await sleep_forever()
    finally:
        # Device unplugged or an exception happened
        print("Stopped handling device:", repr(device))


async def handle_detected_devices():
    detector = HotplugDetector.for_device(vid="1050", pid="0407")
    await detector.run_for_each_device(handle_device)


trio.run(handle_detected_devices)
