Python bindings for libdiscid
Project description
python-libdiscid implements Python bindings for libdiscid using Cython. Both Python 2 (>= 2.7) and 3 (>= 3.4) are supported.
Dependencies
libdiscid
Cython (>= 0.15, optional)
pkgconfig (optional)
Note that the tarballs come with pre-built C source for the Cython module. So Cython is only required if one builds python-libdiscid from the git repository or if one wants to change anything in the Cython module.
If pkgconfig is installed, setup.py uses libdiscid’s pkg-config information to set include directories, libraries to link, etc.
Quick installation guide
python-libdiscid is available in some distributions:
Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install python-libdiscid (Python 2) or apt-get install python3-libdiscid (Python 3)
python-libdiscid can be installed via pip:
pip install python-libdiscid
or by running:
python setup.py install
If you just want to try it locally, run:
python setup.py build_ext -i
and hack right away. You can also run:
python setup.py build
but please make sure that build/lib.* is in sys.path before the source folder.
A note for Windows users
There are eggs available from PyPI that don’t require the extension module to be built. If these are used, it is still required to drop a working discid.dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32 (or wherever it can be found).
Usage
from libdiscid import read disc = read("/dev/cdrom") print("id: {}".format(disc.id))
