A python 3 interface to Universal Measurement and Calibration Protocol XCP

Description

Goal of this project is to make XCP available in python in a "pythonic" way.

Keep implementation as simple as possible. Use python3 built-in functions and bytearrays as well as standard modules like struct and enum wherever possible.

Why yet another implementation of XCP

While there is pyxcp implementation available, it has Windows dependencies and is in general not feasible to adapt. Instead, this XCP implementation is done from scratch in pure python.

Deprecation of PyPi Packages

Packages on PyPi are no longer updated due to attempts of the Python Software Foundation to enforce new rules and basically flush out developers who do not consent.
Recent packages can be installed directly from git, i.e.
pip install git+https://gitlab.com/Menschel/socketcan-xcp.git --upgrade
