This is a python wrapper for Linux V4L2 DVB API, v5.2 (as of Linux 2.6.36).

WARNING: very little is implemented: only frontend.h has been translated at the
time of thjis writing, with an object wrapper only for terrestrial frontend.

Dependencies:
- Python 2.x: http://www.python.org
- ctypes (built-in python starting from 2.5)
- v4l2: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/v4l2

Usage - low-level:
>>> from v4l2dvb import frontend
>>> import fcntl
>>> vd = open('/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0', 'rw')
>>> info = frontend.dvb_frontend_info()
>>> fcntl.ioctl(self._fd, frontend.FE_GET_INFO, info)
0
>>> info.frequency_max
858000000L
>>> info.frequency_min
51000000L

Usage - high-level:
>>> from v4l2dvb import frontend
>>> fe = TerrestrialFrontend(open(dev, 'rw'))
>>> info = fe.getInfo()
>>> info['frequency_max']
858000000L
>>> info['frequency_min']
51000000L
