py_serial_rs

The goal of this package is to provide a fast and reliable interface to the serial ports.

Instead of implementing the logic in Python, this package builds around serialport written in Rust. This package supports threading.

Installation

PyO3 (with maturin) will build a pip package for you. For this, make sure that you are able to build rust packages with cargo. Create a virtual environment and install the required pip packages with

pip install -r requirements.txt

The pip package can then easily be build with

maturin build --release

Voilà, a pip package to be used in your code!

Demo Scripts

Demo scripts are located in /python:

• demo.py shows a simple direct communication via the serial connection
• demo_threads.py demonstrates how this package can be used with threads
