Peephole

A D-Bus service for accessing dot-matrix and segmented LCD displays.

Dependencies

python-dbus
python-usb (aka python-pyusb)
python-gobject
python-setuptools

python-nose (aka nosetests), python-pmock, and python-coverage for
running the test suite

Running Directly

To run Peephole directly out of the tree and avoid installing anything, put Peephole.conf into /etc/dbus-1/system.d/. This file defines what users and processes are allowed to access the Peephole service. This step is not optional.

Then execute:

./run

to run an LCD emulator.

Installation

The installation procedure is provided by a standard Python
distutils setup.py script.  However, until I add the
necessary logic to setup.py, you still have to copy the
`Peephole.conf` file into:

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/

And then copy the `ca.infoglobe.peephole.service` file into:

/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/
