* Package name : lg-gpio Version : 0.2.0.0-1 Upstream Author : https://github.com/joan2937/lg * URL : https://abyz.me.uk/lg * License : public-domain Programming Lang: C, Python * Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/lg-gpio Section : electronics Description : Control GPIO pins via the kernel's gpiochip device interface This package provides a comprehensive userspace GPIO interface akin to libgpiod (which is already in Debian), but crucially with additional methods for performing PWM (and other interfaces). This makes it a viable replacement for RPi.GPIO (also in Debian) both in scripts that directly use that library, as well as those using gpiozero (again, already in Debian). In the latter case, the current Debian version of gpiozero (1.4 in stable) relies upon RPi.GPIO as its pin driver. However from 1.6 onwards (in unstable) it also supports lg-gpio as a (preferred) pin driver (though I don't think the patch for preferring lg is currently in the Debian version of the packaging). I'm happy to maintain this package as part of the Python team (although the Raspi team might seem more appropriate, there's nothing Raspberry Pi specific in lg-gpio). A request for sponsorship is (possibly prematurely!) open in #990280.
