It accepts remote commands</div><div>and executes them on the Pi. The Python client (the package would be python3-pigpio)</div><div>is pure Python and is what communicates with remote Pis.</div><div><br></div><div>However, both pigpio and python3-pigpio are contained within the same source repo</div><div>on GitHub. In Raspbian we have both of these packaged. x86/64 Debian users will have</div><div>no need for pigpio, but there's a use case for the Python client as it allows remote GPIO</div><div>(either behind gpiozero or directly). That's the functionality Mu depends on. For the sake</div><div>of completion (unrelated to Mu), it would be nice to see pigpio itself in Debian, for those</div><div>using vanilla Debian on the Pi.</div><div><br></div><div>Let me know what we can do to help!</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>Ben</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
