This project offers a python binding to the libindi library. It uses the Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator (SWIG). You may generate a PyIndi module which mainly defines an IndiClient class. This class could be used to build python scripts able to interact with indi servers using sendNew* methods and implementing new* methods of the BaseMediator class. PyQt applications may also be built on top of IndiClient, thus allowing rapid development of GUI Indi clients.
