Installing

Install it using pip installer:

pip install python-gammu

Linux wheels

Binary wheels are available for CPython 3.10 and newer on 64-bit x86 and ARM Linux systems using glibc 2.28 or newer. They include a minimal, statically linked Gammu library, so installing Gammu separately is not necessary.

The wheels support core phone protocols, serial connections, converters, backups, and the SMSD file and null services. Bluetooth, native USB, IrDA, database-backed SMSD services, CURL, GLib/GObject, systemd, gettext, and iconv integration are not included.

The bundled Gammu 1.43.3 library is licensed under GPL-2.0-or-later. The corresponding source archive is available from:

https://github.com/gammu/gammu/releases/download/1.43.3/Gammu-1.43.3.tar.gz

To use those optional features, install a fully featured Gammu development package and force a source build:

pip install --no-binary python-gammu python-gammu

Requirements

To compile python-gammu from source, you need Gammu development files (usually shipped as libgammu-dev or gammu-devel in Linux distributions).

The location of the libraries is discovered using pkg-config, GAMMU_PATH environment variable and falls back to generic locations. In case it does not work, either install pkg-config or set GAMMU_PATH.

On Linux something like this should work:

GAMMU_PATH=/opt/gammu pip install .

On Windows:

SET GAMMU_PATH="C:\Gammu"
pip install .

Documentation

Please see included python documentation:

>>> import gammu
>>> help(gammu)

Alternatively you can use Sphinx to generate browsable version, which is also available online at <https://docs.gammu.org/>.
