python3-gpiod

It is a pure Python library and has no dependencies on other packages !!

Installation

python3 -m pip install -U --user pip gpiod

help command

>>> import gpiod
>>> help(gpiod)
>>> help(gpiod.chip)
>>> help(gpiod.line)
>>> help(gpiod.chip.open)

open(self, device, how:int=1)
    @brief Open a GPIO chip.

    @param device: String or int describing the GPIO chip.
    @param how:    Indicates how the chip should be opened.

    If the object already holds a reference to an open chip, it will be
    closed and the reference reset.

    Usage:
        chip.open("/dev/gpiochip0")
        chip.open(0, chip.OPEN_BY_NUMBER)

Test

python3 -m gpiod.test.blink <chip> <line offset>
python3 -m gpiod.test.bulk_blink <chip> <line offset1> [<line offset2> ...]
python3 -m gpiod.test.sequential_blink <chip> <line offset1> \
    [<line offset2> ...]
python3 -m gpiod.test.button <chip> <line offset> [rising|falling|both]
python3 -m gpiod.test.bulk_button <chip> <line offset> [<line offset2> ...]
    <[rising|falling|both]>

Blink example

Python3

import gpiod

import time

if len(sys.argv) > 2:
    LED_CHIP = sys.argv[1]
    LED_LINE_OFFSET = int(sys.argv[2])
else:
    print('''Usage:
    python3 blink.py <chip> <line offset>''')
    sys.exit()

chip = gpiod.chip(LED_CHIP)
led = chip.get_line(LED_LINE_OFFSET)

config = gpiod.line_request()
config.consumer = "Blink"
config.request_type = gpiod.line_request.DIRECTION_OUTPUT

led.request(config)

print(led.consumer)

while True:
    led.set_value(0)
    time.sleep(0.1)
    led.set_value(1)
    time.sleep(0.1)
