dsf-python 3.3.1 released (successor of pydsfapi)

mfs12

Hallo,

recently we decided to split the project DSF-APIs (https://github.com/Duet3D/DSF-APIs) into separate ones. Since this split the python part moved into dsf-python and can be found either at

Features:

split go and python repositories
official support of pip installer via the python package index

Bugs:

fixed default socket file name
deleted flush function from intercept connection

Official package can now be found at https://pypi.org/project/dsf-python/3.3.1/

Help to make this project better and report bugs, ideas or wishes here.

@mfs12 We are testing this out (dsf-python) and need a gentle push to get started.. This is on a RPi 4b as the SBC. DSF-Python is installed.

To test, we are using send_simple_code.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

"""
Example of a command connection to send arbitrary commands to the machine
Make sure when running this script to have access to the DSF UNIX socket owned by the dsf user.
"""

from dsf.connections import CommandConnection


def send_simple_code():
    command_connection = CommandConnection(debug=True)
    command_connection.connect()

    try:
        # Perform a simple command and wait for its output
        res = command_connection.perform_simple_code("M115")
        print("M115 is telling us:", res)
    finally:
        command_connection.close()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    send_simple_code()

But receiving the following error:

    from dsf.connections import CommandConnection
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dsf.connections'; 'dsf' is not a package

Any help would be appreciated. Once we can connect, I think we'll be in good shape. Thanks

Replying once more as we got this example to work from within the dsf-python/example folder. That's good, as it proves it's working, but how can we get around the error when executing the script from another folder? That's the scenario tried from my previous post..

@oozebot, you can install this package, and this is the recommended way except you plan to changes to dsf-python.

You have two options

system-wide:

$ pip install dsf-python

or for a single user:

$ pip install --user dsf-python

then you can import the module like any other as well.
