Pure Python OPC-UA client library

Project description

Pure Python OPC-UA Client (and maybe server later)

API is or will be the same as the python bindings of freeopcua c++ client

Most code is autogenerated from xml specification using same code as the one that is goind to be used for freeopcua C++ client and server

what works:
* connection to server, opening channel, session
* browsing and reading attributes value
* gettings nodes by path and nodeids
* creating subscriptions
* subscribing to items for data change

what is not implemented yet (but is trivial to implement):
* subscribing to events
* subscribing to status change
* adding all modify methods

what is not implemented or though about but should also be trivial
* certificate handling
* user and password

in addition testing against more servers should be done

adding more functionnality shoud be trivial since most code is autogenerated

Example code:

```
import logging
from opcua import Client
from opcua import uaprotocol as ua

class SubHandler(object):
def data_change(self, handle, node, val, attr):
print("Python: New data change event", handle, node, val, attr)

def event(self, handle, event):
print("Python: New event", handle, event)

if __name__ == "__main__":
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.WARN)
client = Client("opc.tcp://localhost:4841/freeopcua/server/")
client.connect()

#getting root folder and browsing
root = client.get_root_node()
print(root.get_children())

#getting a variable by path and setting its value attribute
myvar = root.get_child(["0:Objects", "2:NewObject", "2:MyVariable"])
var.set_value(ua.Variant([23], ua.VariantType.Int64))

#subscribing to data change event to our variable
handler = SubHandler()
sub = client.create_subscription(500, handler)
sub.subscribe_data_change(myvar)

time.sleep(100)

client.disconnect()
```
