Description :
pygatt - Python Module for Bluetooth LE Generic Attribute Profile (GATT).
=========================================================================
This Module allows reading and writing to GATT descriptors on devices
such as fitness trackers, sensors, and anything implementing standard
GATT Descriptor behavior.
pygatt provides a Pythonic API by wrapping two different backends:
- BlueZ (requires Linux), using the ``gatttool`` command-line utility.
- Bluegiga\'s BGAPI, compatible with USB adapters like the BLED112.
Motivation
----------
Despite the popularity of BLE, we have yet to find a good programming
interface for it on desktop computers. Since most peripherals are
designed to work with smartphones, this space is neglected. One
interactive interface, BlueZ\'s ``gatttool``, is functional but difficult
to use programatically. BlueZ itself obviously works, but the interface
leaves something to be desired and only works in Linux.
Requirements
------------
- Python 2.7
- The latest version is recommended. Earlier versions (for example
2.7.3) will not connect to the USB adapter at all and fail during
``struct.unpack`` calls.
- BlueZ 5.18 or greater (with gatttool) - required for the gatttool
backend only.
- Tested on 5.18, 5.21, 5.35 and 5.43
- GATTToolBackend requires Linux (i.e. not Windows compatible)
Installation
------------
Install ``pygatt`` with pip from PyPI:
::
$ pip install pygatt
The BlueZ backend is not supported by default as it requires
``pexpect``, which can only be installed in a UNIX-based environment. If
you wish to use that backend, install the optional dependencies with:
::
$ pip install \"pygatt[GATTTOOL]\"
Install the latest development version of ``pygatt`` with pip:
::
$ pip install git+https://github.com/peplin/pygatt
Example Use
-----------
The primary API for users of this library is provided by
``pygatt.BLEBackend`` and ``pygatt.BLEDevice``. After initializing an
instance of the preferred backend (available implementations are found
in ``pygatt.backends``, use the ``BLEBackend.connect`` method to connect
to a device and get an instance of ``BLEDevice.``
.. code:: python
import pygatt
adapter = pygatt.BGAPIBackend()
try:
adapter.start()
device = adapter.connect(\'01:23:45:67:89:ab\')
value = device.char_read(\"a1e8f5b1-696b-4e4c-87c6-69dfe0b0093b\")
finally:
adapter.stop()
Note that not all backends support connecting to more than 1 device at
at time, so calling ``BLEBackend.connect`` again may terminate existing
connections.
Here\'s the same example using the GATTTool backend. It\'s identical
except for the initialization of the backend:
.. code:: python
import pygatt
adapter = pygatt.GATTToolBackend()
try:
adapter.start()
device = adapter.connect(\'01:23:45:67:89:ab\')
value = device.char_read(\"a1e8f5b1-696b-4e4c-87c6-69dfe0b0093b\")
finally:
adapter.stop()
Notifications Example
---------------------
This example uses the gatttool backend to connect to a device with a specific
MAC address, subscribes for notifications on a characteristic, and prints the
data returned in each notification.
.. code:: python
import pygatt
from binascii import hexlify
adapter = pygatt.GATTToolBackend()
def handle_data(handle, value):
\"\"\"
handle -- integer, characteristic read handle the data was received on
value -- bytearray, the data returned in the notification
\"\"\"
print(\"Received data: %s\" % hexlify(value))
try:
adapter.start()
device = adapter.connect(\'01:23:45:67:89:ab\')
device.subscribe(\"a1e8f5b1-696b-4e4c-87c6-69dfe0b0093b\",
callback=handle_data)
finally:
adapter.stop()
Debugging
---------
While debugging software using pygatt, it is often useful to see what\'s
happening inside the library. You can enable debugging logging and have
it printed to your terminal with this code:
::
import pygatt
import logging
logging.basicConfig()
logging.getLogger(\'pygatt\').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
Can\'t find BGAPI device in Windows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may need to explicitly specify the COM port of your BGAPI-compatible
device in windows, e.g.:
::
adapter = pygatt.BGAPIBackend(serial_port=\'COM9\')
If you provide the COM port name, but still get an error such as
``WindowsError(2, \'The system cannot find the file specified.\')``, try
changing the COM port of the device to a value under 10, e.g. ``COM9``.

Releasing to PyPI
-----------------
For the maintainers of the project, when you want to make a release:
- Merge all of the changes into ``master``.
- Update the version in ``setup.py``.
- Update the ``CHANGELOG.mkd``
- Tag the commit and push to GitHub (will need to push to a separate
branch of PR first since ``master`` is a protected branch).
- Travis CI will take care of the rest - it will build and deploy
tagged commits to PyPI automatically.

Release History
================
V3.2.0
------
- Fix: Reliably auto-reconnect after restarting BGAPI device. Fixes a bug in
first attempt at auto-reconnection, only worked in some environments. (#144)
- Fix: Remove spurious \"no handler for logger\" warnings (#143)
- Fix: Use enum-compat instead of enum34, to fix installation in Python 3.4+
- Feature: Limit search window size for GATTTool backend, to avoid high CPU
usage for long running connections. (#123)
- Feature: Add support for write commands to BGAPIBackend (#115)
V3.1.1
------
- Improvement: Convert documentation to RST for better PyPI integration.
V3.1.0
------
- Fix: Support platforms without ``termios`` (Windows)
- Feature: Add ``char_read_handle`` to GATTTool backend.
- Improvement: Warn if ``hcitool`` requires a sudo authentication.

- Improvement: Interpret \"invalid file descriptor\" as a disconnect
event.
- Fix: Correctly handle service class UUIDs that aren\'t 16 bytes.
- Improvement: Support BLE devices with any UTF8 character.
- Improvement: Make gatttol prompt timeout configurable.
- Improvement: Gracefully stop ``lescan`` to avoid leaving the adapter

``address_type`` argument as the GATTTool backend [BGAPI].
- [API Change] The ``address_type`` argument on both backends now
requires a value from a new enum, ``pygatt.BLEAddressType``, instead
of a string.
- Made Python 3 support a priority for both GATTTOOL and BGAPI
backends.
- Improve reliability of BGAPI backend by re-setting device for each
connection.
