• python 3.7+ implementation of the misty II REST API

• use python 3.7
• should be able to install with just pip3 install git+https://github.com/acushner-xaxis/misty_py.git
• run jupyter console, import the api, and then, from there you can do things like help(MistyAPI)
  • additionally the nice thing is that jupyter's already in an event loop, so you can do things like await api.movement.move_head(0, 0, 0) directly in the console

Alternately, you can use the install shell script (if you are using Windows, you'll need WSL):

Make sure Python 3.7 is installed.

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acushner-xaxis/misty_py/master/install.sh | bash

Or check out this repository:

git clone https://github.com/acushner-xaxis/misty_py.git
cd misty_py
./install.sh

Then you can use the environment with:

source .virtualenv/bin/activate

Or just start Jupyter Notebook with:

./run-jupyter

• first, export MISTY_IP=<your_misty_ip> in your env

a simple face training example:

import asyncio
from misty_py.api import MistyAPI
from misty_py.utils.color import RGB

api = MistyAPI()
await asyncio.gather(
    api.images.set_led(RGB(0, 255, 0)),
    api.faces.wait_for_training('name')
)
await api.images.set_led()

subscriptions are more complicated than normal rest calls

there are a few ways to subscribe:

• via SubType - higher-level subscription types (e.g. SubType.face_recognition)
• via LLSubType - lower-level subscription types (e.g. Actuator.yaw)
• via Sub - combination of SubType and EventConditions

each time you subscribe you get a SubId object which can be used to interact with a given subscription

here are some examples:

from misty_py.subscriptions import SubPayload, SubType, Bump
from misty_py.api import MistyAPI

api = MistyAPI()


async def debug_handler(sp: SubPayload):
    print(sp)


# subscribe to one single higher-level subscription
# (get a self_state message every 2000 ms)
await api.ws.subscribe(SubType.self_state, debug_handler, 2000)


# subscribe to a single lower-level subscription
await api.ws.subscribe(Bump.front_right, debug_handler)


# subscribe via a higher-level `SubType` to all its lower-level `LLSubType`
# this will generate 4 separate subscriptions, one for each of `LLSubType`: `Bump`
#    - all will share the same handler
await api.ws.subscribe(SubType.bump_sensor, debug_handler, 2000)

there are 3 ways to unsubscribe:

• via the SubId you got when you created your subscription
• via higher-level SubType
• via event_name, which will generally only need to be used in debugging

await api.ws.unsubscribe(SubType.self_state)

• object that combines a callback with an event.
• when the callback returns a truthy value, the event will be set.
• useful for figuring out when something's done
• works great as a handler for subscribing to messages

# example of waiting for an audio file with a certain name to complete playing

async def _handle_audio_complete(self, name):
    """subscribe and wait for an audio complete event"""
    async def _wait_name(sp: SubPayload):
        return sp.data.message.metaData.name == name

    event = EventCallback(_wait_name)
    try:
        async with self.api.ws.sub_unsub(SubType.audio_play_complete, event):
            await event
    except asyncio.CancelledError:
        event.set()
