The pysmbus package is a pure Python reimplentation of the python-smbus package. This allows using the I2C SMBus protocol without having to compile C.
It has the same module name, smbus, as python-smbus, so that it can
be used as a direct replacement in projects that normally depend on
python-smbus.
Currently it's incomplete. The following methods are implemented:
* write_byte_data
* read_byte_data
Other methods haven't been implemented yet, since I don't have any hardware needing those methods. Patches or requests for other methods are welcome.
This package has been comfirmed working with Python 2.7 and 3.4.
from smbus import SMBus
bus = SMBus(1) # Opens /dev/i2c-1
bus.write_byte_data(0x54, 0x13, 0xff)
