There is little bit of confusion. The official OWFS bindings are
- OW.py, based on SWIG wrapping the C API of libow - ownet.py, pure python owserver client you will find both in debian packages - python-ow, https://packages.debian.org/buster/python-ow <https://packages.debian.org/buster/python-ow> - python-ownet, https://packages.debian.org/buster/python-ownet <https://packages.debian.org/buster/python-ownet> My advice is to avoid the use of these packages with python3 (although python3 versions exist in debian) since they are not actively developed. I’m the author of pyownet, a different package, which does not belong to the official OWFS code base. It is documented at <https://pyownet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ <https://pyownet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>> and is available only on pypi.org <http://pypi.org/> since, to my knowledge, it is not packaged by any major linux distribution. pyownet is actively mantained, and is perfectly compatible with both python3 (up from 3.3) and legacy python2 (2.7 only). So if you “import pyownet” in your code you have to “pip install pyownet”. The discussion in this thread is whether it is a good practice to “sudo pip install pyownet” along the python packages distributed by debian. In my opinion you should avoid this, and instead use a virtual environment, as I tried to explain in my messages.
