pyindigo, python interface for INDIGO astronomy software framework

pyindigo is a python interface for indigo astronomical software framework. indigo provides a common entrypoint and a set of abstractions to control various devices like cameras, filter wheels, guides etc — all in the form of C library. pyindigo is a python package that provides bindings to this library, as well as some higher-level abstraction for common tasks.

this is prototype-grade software and is not suitable for general use

i developed the library primarily for SIT telemetry monitoring tool. it is split into:

• “core” level — a set of functions with direct bindings to indigo’s message bus via python C API
• “models” — several classes modeling “entities” in the system (driver, device) that attempt to streamline some common tasks

unfortunately, with no access to a wide variety of astronomical hardware, i was unable to properly test my library and build anything more sophisticated than a single camera going snap. i would be happy to return to this someday, but for now, this remains a very limited and untested prototype.
