The pyownet.protocol module is a low-level implementation of the ownet protocol. Interaction with an owserver takes place via a proxy object whose methods correspond to ownet messages:

>>> owproxy.ping()
>>> owproxy.dir()
['/10.67C6697351FF/', '/05.4AEC29CDBAAB/']
>>> owproxy.present('/10.67C6697351FF/temperature')
True
>>> owproxy.read('/10.67C6697351FF/temperature')
'     91.6195'
