Python GPIO module

[croston]

I have taken the liberty of creating a Python module for GPIO on R-Pi.  The project pages are at:

http://code.google.com/p/raspb.....io-python/

The module is also available on PyPi:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/RPi.GPIO/

It is open-source under a MIT licence.

Warning: It is still pre-alpha so I might change it completely yet.  I've not been able to test because I'm waiting for a R-Pi like the rest of you!

Very useful !

Thank you

Excellent!

Will follow this with interest.  Thinking a software virtual GPIO emulation would be useful for experimenting with, is that possible?

Bump for those interested, and may of finally had their Pi delivered.

I have a RPi and am testing the module at the moment. I have already had to change something so there will be a new version later today.

Have you updated the module yet? Very interested.

[SteGriff]

Very nice wrapper! I skim-read your source and it looks very well done, and leads to really readable user code.

Great stuff! Consider yourself @followed.

The Python GPIO module has now been tested and released!

What is the    'RPi.GPIO as GPIO'   refering too? Where is this module?

[firstplacefranz]

Whoa just playing with the GPIO's when i just caused the raspi to restart... Thank god no perminant harm done.

Do your Python module support the hardware GPIO intterrupts (rising edge, falling edge, positive,negative,change)?

The interesting thing about hardware GPIO interrupt support is that polling can be avoided and you application can sleep.

The program will then be avaken by the kernel if you are using asynchronous (async) I/O:

Idk man but it works pretty well. I got my light blinking (its red... ).

You can download it here, if you want to take a look at.

I have created a PKGBUILD for Arch Linux. If someone can test it, that would be great.

Any suggestion is welcome. Regards!

hi - downloaded the module and gave it a go. Worked just fine and I've got my daughter's 'Hot Wires' electronics lab now hooked up to the Raspberry. Given I'm new to linux, Python and very rusty on electronics I'm feeling very chuffed

Hi,
new to python and linux and struggling to get a LED to light up in python with this script. i can do it in the shell using the wiki guide, but in python.
I,ve posted this in the python thread :

http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... =32&t=7370

Can anyone help with what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
