Pure Python Multicast DNS Service Discovery Library (Bonjour/Avahi compatible)
Project description
python-zeroconf
This is fork of pyzeroconf, Multicast DNS Service Discovery for Python, originally by Paul Scott-Murphy (https://github.com/paulsm/pyzeroconf), modified by William McBrine (https://github.com/wmcbrine/pyzeroconf).
This fork is used in all of my TiVo-related projects: HME for Python (and therefore HME/VLC), Network Remote, Remote Proxy, and pyTivo. Before this, I was tracking the changes for zeroconf.py in three separate repos. I figured I should have an authoritative source.
Although I make changes based on my experience with TiVos, I expect that they’re generally applicable. This version also includes patches found on the now-defunct (?) Launchpad repo of pyzeroconf, and elsewhere around the net – not always well-documented, sorry.
Compatible with:
Bonjour
Avahi
Compared to some other Zeroconf/Bonjour/Avahi Python packages, python-zeroconf:
isn’t tied to Bonjour or Avahi
doesn’t use D-Bus
doesn’t force you to use particular event loop or Twisted
is pip-installable
has PyPI distribution
Python compatibility
CPython 2.6, 2.7, 3.3+
PyPy 2.2+ (possibly 1.9-2.1 as well)
PyPy3 2.4+
Versioning
This project’s versions follow the following pattern: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
MAJOR version has been 0 so far
MINOR version is incremented on backward incompatible changes
PATCH version is incremented on backward compatible changes
Status
There are some people using this package. I don’t actively use it and as such any help I can offer with regard to any issues is very limited.
How to get python-zeroconf?
PyPI page https://pypi-hypernode.com/pypi/zeroconf
GitHub project https://github.com/jstasiak/python-zeroconf
The easiest way to install python-zeroconf is using pip:
pip install zeroconf
How do I use it?
Here’s an example:
from six.moves import input
from zeroconf import ServiceBrowser, Zeroconf
class MyListener(object):
def remove_service(self, zeroconf, type, name):
print("Service %s removed" % (name,))
def add_service(self, zeroconf, type, name):
info = zeroconf.get_service_info(type, name)
print("Service %s added, service info: %s" % (name, info))
zeroconf = Zeroconf()
listener = MyListener()
browser = ServiceBrowser(zeroconf, "_http._tcp.local.", listener)
try:
input("Press enter to exit...\n\n")
finally:
zeroconf.close()See examples directory for more.
