pyomxplayer
===========
Follow from `pyomxplayer <https://github.com/jbaiter/pyomxplayer>`_ , fix bug #3.
Python wrapper module around `OMXPlayer <https://github.com/huceke/omxplayer>`_
for the Raspberry Pi.

Unlike `other implementations <https://github.com/KenT2/pyomxplayer>`_, this
module does not rely on any external scripts and FIFOs, but uses the
`pexpect module <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pexpect/2.4>`_ for communication
with the OMXPlayer process.

CPU overhead is rather low (~3% for the Python process on my development RPi)
and the object-oriented design makes it easy to re-use in other projects.

Installation:
-------------
::

    git clone https://github.com/bigheadz/OMXPlayer-python-client.git
    python pyomxplayer/setup.py install

Example:
--------
::

    >>> from pyomxplayer import OMXPlayer
    >>> from pprint import pprint
    >>> omx = OMXPlayer('/tmp/video.mp4')
    >>> pprint(omx.__dict__)
