lircpy

A simple, pure-python script for easily accessing lirc with no external dependencies.

Usage is really simple. Simply import the module, define a handler and start the listener.

Example:

import lircpy

class Handler(lircpy.Handler):
    # Throttle continous key presses of the same key.  If the user hold down
    # a key on the remote, then we will only respond to every fifth event.  To
    # disable throttling, set this to ``0``.
    THROTTLE = 5

    # The name of my remote as define in my lircd.conf.  To respond to any remote
    # set to ``None``
    REMOTE = "onkyo_rc-707m"   

    # Respond to the "KEY_UP" command as defined in my lircd.conf.
    def KEY_UP(self, data):
        # Handle the KEY_UP command
        print "KEY_UP"

    # Default handler for keys that don't have explicit handlers define.  Note that
    # the default handler is not throttled regardless of what ``THROTTLE`` has been
    # defined as.
    def DEFAULT(self, data):
        print data['key']

# Start listening for remote commands
l = lircpy.Lirc(handler=Handler())

# Press some keys on the remote...

# Stop the listener
l.stop()
