how to install

pip install devicepool

how to use

1. import library first from devicepool import Device, DevicePool
2. make a resource dict list

   resource_list = [
   	{
   		'ip':	'192.168.1.1',
   		'type': 'android'
   	},
   	
   	{
   		'ip':	'192.168.1.2',
   		'type': 'ios'
   	}
   ]
   

3. init devicepool

   devicepool = DevicePool(resource_list)
   

4. get a device from the pool

   # know how many available resource in the pool
   devicepool.size
   
   # allocate any dev from resource pool
   dev = devicepool.get()
   
   # use filter_func to get desired resource, for exmaple type == 'android'
   dev = devicepool.get(filter_func=lambda dev: dev.type == 'android')
   
   # use timeout to wait, default timeout is zero
   dev = devicepool.get(timeout=10)
   
   # specify rent time, default is 120 sec
   dev = devicepool.get(rent_time=360)
   

5. check if allocating device is successfully

   # if resource is not enougth and timeout, return None
   # so you need check if dev is None
   if dev == None:
   	print('allocate resource failed')
   

6. use the device by dot way

   print(dev.ip)
   print(dev.type)
   

7. free the device, or let't it free automatically

   dev.free()
