Description: # python3-spi
        
        Python 3.x interface for SPI communications using Linux spidev
        
        This is a fork of https://github.com/tomstokes/python-spi which seems to be abandoned with the python 3 compatibility patch proposed by Tom Egan applied.
        
        ## Features
        
        - Pure Python implementation. No C module to compile.
        - Supports half-duplex reads and writes as well as full-duplex transfers.
        - Exposes all available spidev interface options as properties.
        
        ## Requirements
        
        - spidev enabled in the kernel and (if necessary) the device tree.
        - Write permissions to the /dev/spidevN.N device.
          - Some distributions have an 'spi' group for this purpose. If available, add this group to the user account and ensure the spidev device is group-writeable.
          - If no 'spi' group exists, a udev rule can be created to set the permissions of the spidev device.
          - As a last resort, running the python script as root should allow access to the spidev. **Note** This is not recommended. Use the 'spi' group or udev rules whenever possible.
        
        ## Example
        ```python3
        import spi
        spi = SPI("/dev/spidev1.0")
        spi.mode = SPI.MODE_0
        spi.bits_per_word = 8
        spi.speed = 500000
        received = spi.transfer([0x11, 0x22, 0xFF])
        spi.write([0x12, 0x34, 0xAB, 0xCD])
        received = spi.read(10)
        ```
