Bug#1014518: RFA: python-can -- Controller Area Network (CAN) interface module - Python modules
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 src:python-can
I request an adopter for the python-can package.
Back in the days I was involved in some automotive projects, which lead
me into packaging 'python-can' and 'python-canmatrix' (Python modules
dealing with the "Controller Area Network (CAN) bus").
Now, I haven't been involved in any such projects in the last few years,
and thus my interest in these packages has dwindled.
Also, not working with CAN-interfaces means that I cannot really test
the module under real-world conditions any more.
The package is in good shape (I just uploaded a new release), and it
hasn't taken too much work in the past.
The package is maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Python Team.
However, if somebody uses the packages on a regular basis, I would be
happy to pass on the lead maintainership.
(I'm also open to co-maintaining the package, if this makes a prospective
maintainer more comfortable.)
The package description is:
The Controller Area Network (CAN, aka "CAN bus") is a bus standard designed
to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other. It
has priority based bus arbitration, reliable deterministic
communication. It is used in cars, trucks, boats, wheelchairs and more.
.
The 'can' package provides controller area network support for Python
developers; providing "common abstractions to different hardware devices", and
a suite of utilities for sending and receiving messages on a can bus.
