ptpy 0.3.2
# IntroductionPure Python implementation of the PTP standard as specified inISO15740:2013(E).This implementation is transport agnostic and can be used along with USB,serial or IP layers to communicate with PTP compliant cameras.The entire codebase, tools and examples are compatible with both Python 3 andPython 2.# Basic UsagePTPy accomodates both the low-level developers wishing to test their PTPimplementation as well as users of the cameras in the market.By default, PTPy will automatically detect which extension the camera supportsand load it so that the interaction is seamless.> The most basic usage of PTPy with a camera connected is:```pythonfrom ptpy import PTPycamera = PTPy()print(camera.get_device_info())with camera.session(): camera.initiate_capture()```Developers might want to disable the extra functionality, or impose anextension to use. E.g. when the PTP Extension ID has not been assigned.> It is possible to get bare PTP functionality with:```pythonfrom ptpy import PTPycamera = PTPy(raw=True)print(camera.get_device_info())with camera.session(): # Do basic things here.```A developer might want to test the case where the extension is incorrectlyidentified. This is possible by imposing an arbitrary extension.> Impose MTP (Microsoft PTP Extension) to any camera:```pythonfrom ptpy import PTPyfrom ptpy.extensions.microsoft import PTPDevice as mtpcamera = PTPy(extension=mtp)with camera.session(): # Do bizarre things here.```Sessions are managed automatically with context managers.All sessions under a top session with share the top session.> To inspect the current session and transaction use the corresponding properties:```pythonfrom ptpy import PTPycamera = PTPy()with camera.session(): camera.get_device_info() print('Top level session:') print(camera.session_id) print('Transaction ID:') print(camera.transaction_id) with camera.session(): camera.get_device_info() print('Shared session:') print(camera.session_id) print('Transaction ID increases:') print(camera.transaction_id)with camera.session(): camera.get_device_info() print('First session:') print(camera.session_id) print('Transaction ID:') print(camera.transaction_id)with camera.session(): camera.get_device_info() print('Second session:') print(camera.session_id) print('Transaction ID:') print(camera.transaction_id)```# Transports## USBA proof-of-concept USB implementation is provided using PyUSB. Though it mightnot work with all USB controllers in cameras today. In some operating systems,it might be necessary to be `root` in order to access USB devices directly.For the USB transport, the `_shutdown` method is provided to explicitly releasethe USB interface. At the end of the Python interpreter session this will happenautomatically.## IPA proof-of-concept PTP/IP implementation is provided using sockets. Since thereis no device discovery implemented yet, the address must be provided directly.```pythonfrom ptpy import PTPyfrom ptpy.transports.ip import IPTransport# Default PTP/IP port assumedc = PTPy(transport=IPTransport, device='197.168.47.1')# Optionally:c = PTPy(transport=IPTransport, device=('197.168.47.1', 15740))```# Extensions## State of the artFull support for the Parrot Drone SAS extension is provided. Extensions aremeant to provice vendor-specific sets of operations, events and properties.Partial support for Canon, Microsoft (MTP), and Nikon extensions is provided.Full support is expected eventually.Canon and Nikon extensions integrate their specific events mechanisms.Extensions are managed automatically for users or can be imposed by developers.## FrameworkA developer can take any of the sample extensions as a model for others.In general extensions do not need to overwrite any base PTP operations, eventsor properties. Indeed most extensions will add some extra commands.# InstallingTo install issue `pip install .` or `pip install -e .` for developer mode. Thecommand `python setup.py install` should also work.# Development## RequirementsA `requirements.txt` file is provided for ease of development.For developing tests, an additional `tests/requirements.txt` is provided.Under Windows, install `libusb` or `libusb-win32` using(zadig)[http://zadig.akeo.ie].## TestsVendors might want to test their devices against the hardware tests. Thesebecome immediately accessible when a camera is connected.To launch tests issue `python setup.py test`.A convenience Makefile is provided so the command becomes `make test`.All tests are implemented using `py.test`, which can also be called directly:`py.test ./tests`# TODO- Implement extension mapped codes from PTP1.1
