WS-Discovery in Python

This is WS-Discovery implementation for Python 2 & 3. It allows to discover services and to be discovered.

Authors and maintaining

Original version created by L.A. Fernando. Code was then forked and maintained by Andrei Kopats. Python3 port done by Pieter Jordaan. Packaging & major refactoring by Petri Savolainen. Python2 support fixes by Michael Leinartas.

Usage

A sample use of the module is shown below:

    from wsdiscovery import WSDiscovery, QName, Scope

    wsd = WSDiscovery()
    wsd.start()

    ttype = QName("abc", "def")

    ttype1 = QName("namespace", "myTestService")

    # Note: some devices scope services using onvif:// scheme, not http://
    scope1 = Scope("http://myscope")
    ttype2 = QName("namespace", "myOtherTestService_type1")
    scope2 = Scope("http://other_scope")

    xAddr = "localhost:8080/abc"
    wsd.publishService(types=[ttype], scopes=[scope2], xAddrs=[xAddr])

    #ret = wsd.searchServices(scopes=[scope1], timeout=10)
    ret = wsd.searchServices()

    for service in ret:
        print(service.getEPR() + ":" + service.getXAddrs()[0])

    wsd.stop()

Development state

This is not 100% complete and correct WS-Discovery implementation. It doesn't verify data received from the network. It may crash, and might contain security holes. No guarantees - test it carefully for your use case.
