Hi
I use owfs with Python as well. I am not an expert on either, but in my
code I start owfserver first then start owfs like this -
owserver -p 4304 --nozero --i2c=/dev/i2c-0:ALL
owfs -s localhost:4304 -a alias_file -m /var/1-wire/mnt --allow_other
so owserver talks to the 1-wire network and owfs just talks to owserver
on port 4304. The first command is for a Sheepwalk Pi adapter, for a
USB adapter it would be
owserver -p 4304 --nozero -u
Then within the code I just read the 'files' in the directory structure
just like normal files
Hope that helps
Mick
