 6  This module allows the creation of userspace HAL components in Python.
 7  This includes pins and parameters of the various HAL types.
 8  
 9  Typical usage:
10  
11  import hal, time
12  h = hal.component("component-name")
13  # create pins and parameters with calls to h.newpin and h.newparam
14  h.newpin("in", hal.HAL_FLOAT, hal.HAL_IN)
15  h.newpin("out", hal.HAL_FLOAT, hal.HAL_OUT)
16  h.ready() # mark the component as 'ready'
17  
18  try:
19      while 1:
20          # act on changed input pins; update values on output pins
21          time.sleep(1)
22          h['out'] = h['in']
23  except KeyboardInterrupt: pass
24  
25  
26  When the component is requested to exit with 'halcmd unload', a
27  KeyboardInterrupt exception will be raised.
