Take a look at CoAP[1], an open IETF protocol for IoT. You can make your hardware accessible through "resources", it's restful. So a simple GET on the led resource returns the status of the led, POST/PUT a new status to the resource can trigger the led. Clients can use "observe" to get sttus changes of a resource. For python2 there is txthings[2], based on twisted. There is a new fork for python3 based on asyncio called aiocoap[3], with no extra dependencies if python>=3.4 is used. Futhermore there is a plugin[4] to access CoAP resources directly in Firefox. cheers, Florian [1] http://coap.technology/ [2] https://github.com/siskin/txThings/ [3] http://aiocoap.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ [4] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copper-270430/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
