PiGPIO

Simple library for accessing GPIO through /sys/class.

Works without root (sudo) if you have the right permissions (hint: install pifacedigitalio to get the right permissions)

Example

import pigpio

pigpio.setup(18, pigpio.OUT)  # configure GPIO18 pin for output
pigpio.setup(5, pigpio.IN)  # configure GPIO5 pin for input

pigpio.output(18, True)  # set GPIO18 pin high
pigpio.output(18, False)  # set GPIO18 pin low

print(pigpio.input(5))  # read GPIO5
