How to assign a variable to CPU temp in python using vcgencmd measure_temp

[theMusicMan]

Hi All

So I am simply wanting to create a Dashboard item using Adafruit.io that displays my RPi Cpu temp. I know there is a command such as

Code: Select all

import os
import time

def measure_temp():
        temp = os.popen("vcgencmd measure_temp").readline()
        return (temp.replace("temp=",""))

while True:
        print(measure_temp())
        time.sleep(1)

but... how do I assign the CPU temperature to a variable so that I can then send that variable to Adafruit please?

John runs to the woods, hides his face from mankind, and hangs his head in shame - never to be seen asking such a dumb question again.
