sensors.py
|
|
==========
|
|
python bindings using ctypes for libsensors3 of the [lm-sensors project](https://github.com/groeck/lm-sensors). The code was written against libsensors 3.3.4.
|
|
|
|
For documentation of the low level API see [sensors.h](https://github.com/groeck/lm-sensors/blob/master/lib/sensors.h). For an example of the high level API see [example.py](example.py).
|
|
|
|
For a GUI application that displays the sensor readings and is based on this library, take a look at [sensors-unity](https://launchpad.net/sensors-unity).

|
Usage Notes
|
|
-----------
|
|
As Python does not support call by reference for primitive types some of the libsensors API had to be adapted:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# nr is changed by refrence in the C API
|
|
chip_name, nr = sensors.get_detected_chips(None, nr)
|
|
|
|
# returns the value. throws on error
|
|
val = sensors.get_value(chip, subfeature_nr)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Missing Features (pull requests are welcome):
|
|
* `sensors_subfeature_type` enum
|
|
* `sensors_get_subfeature`
|
|
* Error handlers
