class jumpstarter_driver_pyserial.client.PySerialClient

A client for handling serial communication using pexpect.

close()

Close the open stream session without a context manager.

open() → fdspawn

Open a pexpect session. You can find the pexpect documentation here: https://pexpect.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/pexpect.html#spawn-class

Returns:

fdspawn: The pexpect session object.

open_stream() → BlockingStream

Open a blocking stream session without a context manager.

Returns:

blocking stream session object.

Return type:

BlockingStream

pexpect()

Create a pexpect adapter context manager.

Yields:

PexpectAdapter: The pexpect adapter object.

stream(method='connect')

Open a blocking stream session with a context manager.

Parameters:

method (str) – method name of streaming driver call

Returns:

blocking stream session object context manager.

Examples

Using expect with a context manager

with pyserialclient.pexpect() as session:
    session.sendline("Hello, world!")
    session.expect("Hello, world!")

Using expect without a context manager

session = pyserialclient.open()
session.sendline("Hello, world!")
session.expect("Hello, world!")
pyserialclient.close()

Using a simple BlockingStream with a context manager

with pyserialclient.stream() as stream:
    stream.send(b"Hello, world!")
    data = stream.receive()

Using a simple BlockingStream without a context manager

stream = pyserialclient.open_stream()
stream.send(b"Hello, world!")
data = stream.receive()
