viva-genicam (Python)
Pure-Rust GenICam stack with Python bindings. Discover, control, and stream GigE Vision and USB3 Vision cameras from Python — no aravis, no C toolchain, just a wheel.
pip install viva-genicam
The install also provides viva-camctl, the diagnostic CLI, so
viva-camctl report --ip <CAMERA-IP> --out viva-report.txt works without a Rust
toolchain. It is the right thing to attach to a bug report.
import viva_genicam as vg
cams = vg.discover(timeout_ms=500)
cam = vg.connect_gige(cams[0])
print(cam.get("DeviceModelName"))
cam.set_exposure_time_us(10_000.0)
with cam.stream() as frames:
for frame in frames:
arr = frame.to_numpy() # shape and dtype follow the pixel format
print(frame.width, frame.height, frame.pixel_format)
break
See the documentation for the full API.
Build from source
uv venv .venv
uv pip install --python .venv/bin/python maturin numpy pytest
uv run --python .venv/bin/python maturin develop -m crates/viva-pygenicam/Cargo.toml
Licensing
The viva-genicam code is MIT-licensed. The binary wheel additionally
statically links libusb (LGPL-2.1-or-later) for
USB3 Vision support, so the package license is
MIT AND LGPL-2.1-or-later. See THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md (shipped in the
wheel and sdist) for details, including how to rebuild the native module
against a modified or system libusb per LGPL §6.
