Python bindings for libsensors.so from the lm-sensors project via
ctypes. Trying to support the last two libsensors APIs — versions 3 and 4.
Motivation for this package are shortcomings of scraping the output of
the sensors command by different shell scripts. Some had problems when
labels changed, others could not cope with too many matches of their
overly broad regular expressions, and so on. Those scripts and thus
this package are used at RebeIT for monitoring servers. The needs of
that task are the driving force behind this implementation.
- Python ≥2.6
libsensors.sofrom lm-sensors version 2.x (API 3) or 3.x (API 4)
The package is pure Python, so any implementation with the ctypes module should work. Tested so far with CPython and PyPy.
The usual python setup.py install from within the source distribution.

The following example prints all detected sensor chips, their adapter, and the features with they ”main” value for each chip:
import sensors
sensors.init()
try:
for chip in sensors.iter_detected_chips():
print '%s at %s' % (chip, chip.adapter_name)
for feature in chip:
print ' %s: %.2f' % (feature.label, feature.get_value())
finally:
sensors.cleanup()
Example output of the code above:
