Description:

lirconian 0.2.1

This is a new and independent implementation of the Lirc irsend(1)
program. It offers a Python API and a command line interface. The
command line interface is almost, but not quite, compatible with
irsend. Instead, it is organized as a program with subcommands.
There are some other subtile differences from irsend:

subcommands have been renamed, and must be lower case,
send-once has been renamed to send; only takes one command
(irsend takes several),
send-stop (renamed to stop) without arguments uses the remote and
the command from the last send-start command (API only; not from the
command line),
list has been replaced by the two subcommands remotes (listing
remotes), and commands, listing the commands in a given remote,
no need to give dummy empty arguments for some commands,
The --count argument to send is argument to the subcommand.
the code in commands (previously list remote) is suppressed, unless
-c is given,
port number must be given with the --port (-p) argument;
hostip:portnumber is not recognized,
verbose option --verbose (-v); echos all communication with
the Lirc server,
selectable timeout with --timeout (-t) option,
better error messages

It does not depend on anything but standard Python libraries.
Both Python2 and Python3 are supported.
It does not depend on anything but standard
Python libraries.
(The minimal versions are believed to be 2.7 and 3.2 respectively;
however, this has not been tested.)
For a GUI Lirc client, look at
IrScrutinizer.
For a Java version, look at
JavaLircClient.

Usage:
usage: lirconian [-h] [-a host] [-d path] [-p port] [-t s] [-V] [-v]
sub-commands ...

Program to send IR codes and commands to a Lirc server.

positional arguments:
sub-commands
send Send one command
start Start sending one command until stopped
stop Stop sending the command from send-start
remotes Inquire the list of remotes
commands Inquire the list of commands in a remote
input-log Set input logging
driver-option Set driver option
simulate Fake the reception of IR signals
transmitters Set transmitters
version Inquire version of the Lirc server. (Use "--version"
for the version of this program.)

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-a host, --address host
IP name or address of lircd host. Takes preference
over --device.
-d path, --device path
Path name of the lircd socket
-p port, --port port Port of lircd, default 8765
-t s, --timeout s Timeout in seconds
-V, --version Display version information for this program
-v, --verbose Have the communication with the Lirc server echoed

Difference to the “Python bindings for Lirc”
The current Lirc release contains “Python
bindings”.
It “requires lirc, including header files, installed”. It is not pure
Python, requiring a C module to be installed. Its use is thus mainly to
allow the use of the Lirc programs from a Python environment.
In contrast, the program and API presented here are pure Python. It runs
on every host supporting Python, regardless of the presence of Lirc.
(The possibly exception (depending on the Python implementation), is the
the Unix Domain Socket version.)
