Description: This package provides an object-oriented interface to the Comedi_
        drivers.  The standard Python interface bundled with Comedilib is a
        simple SWIG clone of the C interface.  In pycomedi, we convert the
        functions into class methods (see `pycomedi.classes`), so you don't
        have to worry about dragging around opaque types like `comedi_t *`
        device pointers.  We also bundle related constants together in
        `_Enums` and `_Flags` (see `pycomedi.constants`), to make handling
        common operations like flag manipulations simpler.  Finally, there are
        a number of utility classes (see `pycomedi.utility`) to make common
        tasks like creating instructions or reading hardware-timed analog
        input easier.

        I've packaged pycomedi for Gentoo.  You need layman_ and my `wtk
        overlay`_.  Install with::
        
            # emerge -av app-portage/layman
            # layman --add wtk
            # emerge -av dev-python/pycomedi
