Python AMCP Client Library

v0.2.2

Introduction

Welcome to the AMCP client library repository for Python! The goal of this library is to provide simple and understandable interface for communication with CasparCG server.

Installation

pip install amcp_pylib

Usage examples

Below you can see various usage examples.

Connecting to server

from amcp_pylib.core import Client

client = Client()
client.connect("caspar-server.local", 6969)  # defaults to 127.0.0.1, 5250

Built-in support for asyncio module:

import asyncio
from amcp_pylib.core import ClientAsync

client = ClientAsync()
asyncio.new_event_loop().run_until_complete(client.connect("caspar-server.local", 6969))

Sending commands

from amcp_pylib.core import Client
from amcp_pylib.module.query import VERSION, BYE

client = Client()
client.connect()

response = client.send(VERSION(component="server"))
print(response)

response = client.send(BYE())
print(response)

<SuccessResponse(data=['2.0.7.e9fc25a Stable'],    code=201, code_description='VERSION')>
<InfoResponse(   data=['SERVER SENT NO RESPONSE'], code=0,   code_description='EMPTY')>

All supported protocol commands are listed and documented on CasparCG's wiki pages. Some commands may not be supported yet (in that case, please create issue (or pull ;) request).
