cython-hidapi
=============
.. contents::
Description
-----------
A Cython interface to `HIDAPI <https://github.com/libusb/hidapi>`_ library.
This has been tested with:
* `TREZOR <https://trezor.io/>`_ Hardware Wallet
* the PIC18F4550 on the development board from CCS with their example program
* the Fine Offset WH3081 Weather Station
It works on Linux, Windows and macOS.
Software Dependencies
---------------------
* `Python <http://python.org>`_
* `Cython <http://cython.org>`_
* hidraw or libusb+libudev on Linux
License
-------
cython-hidapi may be used by one of three licenses as outlined in LICENSE.txt
Install
-------
::
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev
$ sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools
$ sudo pip install hidapi
For other download options visit the `PyPi page <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hidapi/>`_.
Build from source
-----------------
1. Download cython-hidapi archive::
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/trezor/cython-hidapi.git
$ cd cython-hidapi
2. Build cython-hidapi extension module::
$ python setup.py build
On Linux, the hidraw API is now used by default, and the libusb API is not
included. That is, --without-libusb is now the default behavior.
To force the use of the libusb API instead, use the --with-libusb option::
$ python setup.py build --with-libusb
Or you can also use the environment variable::
$ export HIDAPI_WITH_LIBUSB=1
$ python setup.py build
3. Install cython-hidapi module into your Python distribution::
$ sudo python setup.py install
**Alternatively**, you can run pip directly, which will call the necessary build and install commands::
$ pip install -e .
4. Test install::
$ python
>>> import hid
>>>
5. Try example script::
$ python try.py
Udev rules
----------
For correct functionality under Linux, you need to create a rule file similar
to `this one <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/trezor/trezor-common/master/udev/51-trezor.rules>`_
in your udev rules directory.
Also you might need to call ``udevadm control --reload-rules`` to reload the rules.
Documentation
-------------
Documentation can be built using Sphinx::
$ cd docs && make html
The HTML output will be in ``docs/_build/html``.
The documentation is extracted from the code using ``autodoc``.
Note that the build output is used. So rebuilt the package before generating documentation.
Built documentation is also deployed to: `https://trezor.github.io/cython-hidapi/ <https://trezor.github.io/cython-hidapi/>`_.
