Declaration

Forked from AlexJinlei/python-v4l2 and updated to work with Python 3.

Can be installed with:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/aspotton/python3-v4l2.git

The orignal declaration from AlexJinlei follows:

This is forked from http://launchpad.net/~python-v4l2-devel. The original package is not updated for a long time. In this fork, I update the v4l2.py code to make it compatible to the latest videodev2.h header file. Jinlei Zheng 2017/06/10

Following are updated README.md contents

python-v4l2

A Python binding for the v4l2 (video4linux2) userspace api, using ctypes. Basic example usage::

>>> import v4l2
>>> import fcntl
>>> vd = open('/dev/video0', 'w')
>>> cp = v4l2.v4l2_capability()
>>> fcntl.ioctl(vd, v4l2.VIDIOC_QUERYCAP, cp)
0
>>> cp.driver
'uvcvideo'
>>> cp.card
'USB 2.0 Camera'

See the linux/videodev2.h header file for details. Currently the bindings are up to date with the 2.6.34 kernel headers.
