Re: [Hamlib-developer] Python API

Hi Steve,

One way to obtain a better segregation between your Python app and the rig,
is to go via the rigctld daemon.
Once the daemon runs (local or remote), you may open a socket to it and
issue your commands.
For example, to know the frequency, just issue a write to socket with "f\n"
contents.

It is not a straight program to rig interface, as you are looking for.
However, it does not require to launch the rigctl app each time you issue a
command.

g'day !

Subject: [Hamlib-developer] Python API

Hi,
I have written a Python (3.12.3) to talk to my IC7300 via Hamlib
(V4.6.2) in a Windows 10 environment, but I'm just issuing "rigctl" 
commands and capturing the response. This works fine, but it's rather crude.
Of course I would like to use the API which I believe is available, but I
cannot find how to download the necessary additional software or library, or
find the documentation for the Python API.
I have looked at
"https://hamlib.sourceforge.net/manuals/4.3/index.html", but this seems
exclusively C Ironically, the most pertinent info I retrieved from a search
is from the Google AI (Sigh!) which suggests I need "hamlib-python", but I
can't find where the AI has scooped up this information.
If anybody can point me at installation instructions and documentation for
the API, I would be grateful.
Thanks/73
Steve VK3SPX
