siobrultech-protocols 0.1.1

A Sans-I/O Python client library for Brultech Devices

What is siobrultech-protocols?

This library is a collection of protcols that decode various packet formats from Brultech Research.

What is Sans-I/O?

Sans-I/O is a philosophy for developing protocol processing libraries in which the library does not do any I/O. Instead, a user of the library is responsible for transferring blocks of bytes between the socket or pipe and the protocol library, and for receiving application-level protocol items from and sending them to the library. This obviously makes a sans-I/O library a little more difficult to use, but comes with the advantage that the same library can be used with any I/O and concurrency mechanism: the same library should be usable in a single-request-at-a-time server, a process-per-request or thread-per-request blocking server, a server using select/poll and continuations, or a server using asyncio, Twisted, or any other asynchronous framework.

See SansIO for more information.

Installation

pip install siobrultech-protocols

Usage

import functools
from siobrultech_protocols.gem.protocols import PacketProtocol

# Queue to get recieved packets from.
queue = asyncio.Queue()

# Pass this Protocol to whatever recieves data from the device.
protocol_factory = functools.partial(PacketProtocol, queue=queue)

Take a look at some usage examples from libraries that use this.
