Using LIRC from Python

[flury_sti]

I setup LIRC to control my AC unit with an IR LED. I have this command which works great:

irsend SEND_ONCE ac KEY_POWER

Now, is there a way to issue the same command using a Python script?

Thanks!

Of course, simplest way is probably:

Code: Select all

import subprocess
rtn = subprocess.call(["irsend", "SEND_ONCE", "ac", "KEY_POWER"])
# rtn should equal 0 if command ran without error

EDIT: I think there is a python lirc module but I've never used. Plus, if all you're doing is commands such as the one you posted, then it's probably not even necessary.

Works perfect, thanks!!
