unetpy

unetpy is the modern Python wrapper for fjagepy. It exposes the low-level fjåge primitives alongside a batteries-included UnetSocket, Unet-specific message classes, and coordinate utilities.

Installation

From PyPI

pip install unetpy

From source

Clone the repository and install it in editable mode:

pip install -e '.[dev]'

This uses the pyproject.toml-based build powered by the standard setuptools backend.

Usage

Import the high-level API just like in unet.js:

from unetpy import (
    Gateway,
    AgentID,
    Performative,
    Message,
    MessageClass,
    UnetSocket,
    Protocol,
    Services,
    to_gps,
    to_local,
)

• All fjåge primitives continue to be available, so legacy from unetpy import * snippets keep working.
• Pre-defined message classes (DatagramReq, DatagramNtf, etc.) can be imported directly.
• to_gps()/to_local() replicate the helper coordinate math from unet.js.

Pre-defined Messages and Services

Message classes mirror the UnetStack class hierarchy, so inheritance behaves exactly like it does on the modem. That means helper checks such as isinstance(rx, DatagramNtf) succeed even when rx is an RxFrameNtf. You can construct requests without manually calling MessageClass:

from unetpy import Gateway, Services, DatagramReq

gw = Gateway("localhost", 1100)
req = DatagramReq()
req.to = 31
req.protocol = 0
req.data = [1, 2, 3]
req.recipient = gw.agentForService(Services.DATAGRAM)
gw.send(req)

Working with UnetSocket

UnetSocket mirrors the JS implementation from unet.js, handling subscriptions, default addresses, and blocking receives on top of fjåge’s gateway:

from unetpy import Protocol, Services, DatagramNtf, UnetSocket

with UnetSocket("localhost", 1101) as sock:
    sock.bind(Protocol.USER)
    sock.connect(31, Protocol.USER)
    sock.send([0x01, 0x02, 0x03])

    sock.setTimeout(2000)
    ntf = sock.receive()
    if isinstance(ntf, DatagramNtf):
        print(f"Got datagram from {ntf.from_}: {ntf.data}")

    # Drop down to fjåge when you need shell access or raw agents
    gw = sock.getGateway()
    shell = gw.agentForService(Services.SHELL)
    print(shell.language)

Coordinate helpers

The coordinate math matches what unet.js exposes through toGps()/toLocal(), so you can use the same mission-planning tutorials in Python:

from unetpy import to_gps, to_local

origin = (1.25, 103.88)  # latitude, longitude
lat, lon = to_gps(origin, x=120.0, y=-45.0)
print(lat, lon)
print(to_local(origin, lat, lon))
