Description: Lirconian (previously PythonLircClient)
        =======================================
        
        This is a new and independent implementation of the Lirc ``irsend(1)``
        program. It offers a Python API and a command line interface. The
        command line interface is almost, but not quite, compatible with
        ``irsend``. Instead, it is organized as a program with subcommands.
        
        There are some other subtile differences from irsend:
        
        -  subcommands have been renamed, and must be lower case,
        -  send-once has been renamed to ``send``; only takes one command
           (irsend takes several),
        -  send-stop (renamed to ``stop``) without arguments uses the remote and
           the command from the last send-start command (API only; not from the
           command line),
        -  list has been replaced by the two subcommands ``remotes`` (listing
           remotes), and ``commands``, listing the commands in a given remote,
        -  no need to give dummy empty arguments for some commands,
        -  The ``--count`` argument to send is argument to the subcommand.
        -  the code in commands (previously list remote) is suppressed, unless
           ``-c`` is given,
        -  port number must be given with the ``--port`` (``-p``) argument;
           ``hostip:portnumber`` is not recognized,
        -  verbose option ``--verbose`` (``-v``); echos all communication with
           the Lirc server,
        -  selectable timeout with ``--timeout`` (``-t``) option,
        -  better error messages
        
        It does not depend on anything but standard Python libraries.
        
        Both Python2 and Python3 are supported.
        It does not depend on anything but standard
        Python libraries.
        (The minimal versions are believed to be 2.7 and 3.2 respectively;
        however, this has not been tested.)
        
        For a GUI Lirc client, look at
        `IrScrutinizer <https://github.com/bengtmartensson/harctoolboxbundle>`__.
        For a Java version, look at
        `JavaLircClient <https://github.com/bengtmartensson/JavaLircClient>`__.
        
        Usage:
        ------
        
        ::
        
            usage: lirconian [-h] [-a host] [-d path] [-p port] [-t s] [-V] [-v]
                       sub-commands ...
        
            Program to send IR codes and commands to a Lirc server.
        
            positional arguments:
              sub-commands
            send                Send one command
            start               Start sending one command until stopped
            stop                Stop sending the command from send-start
            remotes             Inquire the list of remotes
            commands            Inquire the list of commands in a remote
            input-log           Set input logging
            driver-option       Set driver option
            simulate            Fake the reception of IR signals
            transmitters        Set transmitters
            version             Inquire version of the Lirc server. (Use "--version"
                        for the version of this program.)
        
            optional arguments:
              -h, --help            show this help message and exit
              -a host, --address host
                        IP name or address of lircd host. Takes preference
                        over --device.
              -d path, --device path
                        Path name of the lircd socket
              -p port, --port port  Port of lircd, default 8765
              -t s, --timeout s     Timeout in seconds
              -V, --version         Display version information for this program
              -v, --verbose         Have the communication with the Lirc server echoed
        
        Difference to the "Python bindings for Lirc"
        --------------------------------------------
        
        The current Lirc release contains `"Python
        bindings" <http://lirc.org/api-docs/html/group__python__bindings.html>`__.
        It "requires lirc, including header files, installed". It is not pure
        Python, requiring a C module to be installed. Its use is thus mainly to
        allow the use of the Lirc programs from a Python environment.
        
        In contrast, the program and API presented here are pure Python. It runs
        on every host supporting Python, regardless of the presence of Lirc.
        (The possibly exception (depending on the Python implementation), is the
        the Unix Domain Socket version.)
