adxl345-python3

adx library for python3. It is based on the python2 library

You must have smbus for python3 installed. Get it from here

Raspberry Pi Python i2c library for the ADXL3453-axis MEMS accelerometer IC which is used in breakout boards like the Adafruit ADXL345 Triple-Axis Accelerometer (http://shop.pimoroni.com/products/adafruit-triple-axis-accelerometer).

This library is a basic implementation of the i2c protocol for the IC offering a simple way to get started with it on the Raspberry Pi.

You can import the module and get a sensor reading like this:

from adxl345 import ADXL345

adxl345 = ADXL345()

axes = adxl345.getAxes(True)
print "ADXL345 on address 0x%x:" % (adxl345.address)
print "   x = %.3fG" % ( axes['x'] )
print "   y = %.3fG" % ( axes['y'] )
print "   z = %.3fG" % ( axes['z'] )

or you can run it directly from the command line like this:

sudo python ADXL345.py

which will output the current x, y, and z axis readings in Gs.
