================================
XMODEM protocol implementation
================================

Documentation available at http://packages.python.org/xmodem/

Python Package Index (PyPI) page is available at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xmodem

xmodem has been tested with python 2.7 through python 3.11

Usage
=====

Create a function to get and put character data (to a serial line for
example)::

>>> import serial
>>> from xmodem import XMODEM
>>> ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0', timeout=0) # or whatever port you need
>>> def getc(size, timeout=1):
... return ser.read(size) or None
...
>>> def putc(data, timeout=1):
... return ser.write(data) # note that this ignores the timeout
...
>>> modem = XMODEM(getc, putc)

Now, to upload a file, use the ``send`` method::

>>> stream = open('/etc/fstab', 'rb')
>>> modem.send(stream)

To download a file, use the ``recv`` method::

>>> stream = open('output', 'wb')
>>> modem.recv(stream)

For more information, take a look at the documentation_.

Changes
=======
0.4.7:
* bugfix: stall on some kinds of error in ``recv()``, `PR #56
`_.
* bugfix: sequence number miscalculation in ``send()``, `PR #52
`_.
* enhancement: callback function added for ``recv()``, `PR #53
`_.
* bugfix: receiving empty file and stall condition in ``recv()``, `PR #50
`_.
* bugfix: callback is now called for some kinds of errors
and some CLI fixes, `8a798e8b
`_.
* bugfix: remove DepreactionWarning for ``logging.warn()``, `PR #49
`_.

0.4.6:
* bugfix: Abort send on EOT in startup-sequence `Issue #34
`_.
* enhancement: Include LICENSE file in the source distribution.

0.4.5:
* bugfix: Remove bogus `assert False` code in ``recv()`` that resulted in
`AssertionError` introduced in version 0.4.0 commit-id `9b03fc20`, `PR #29
`_.

0.4.4:
* bugfix: Large file transfers in ``send()`` were more likely to fail for
small values of ``retry``: This value should be the maximum failures per
block transfer as documented, but was improperly implemented as the number
of failures allowed for the total duration of the transfer, `PR #21
`_.
* bugfix: ``send(retry=n)`` and ``recv(retry=n)`` should retry ``n`` times
as documented, was retrying ``n - 1``.

0.4.3:
* bugfix: ``putc()`` callback was called in series, 3 times for each part of
xmodem block header, data, and checksum during block transfer. Now all
three data blocks are sent by single ``putc()`` call. This resolves issues
when integrating with microcontrollers or equipment sensitive to timing
issues at stream boundaries, `PR #19
`_.

0.4.2:
* bugfix: documentation files missing from the release tarball
`Issue #16 `_.

0.4.1
* bugfix: re-transmit in ``send()`` on ``NAK`` or timeout, previously
re-transmissions (wrongly) occurred only on garbage bytes.
`PR #12 `_.

0.4.0
* enhancement: support for python 3
`PR #8 `_.
* bugfix: CRC failures in XMODEM.recv() were not renegotiated correctly
`PR #11 `_.
