ZigBee tx_long_addr

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I've been using this awesome lib for the last week in the receive mode 
(Raspberry PI acting as an XBee gateway, submitting data to a remote web 
service). Excellent work!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Version 2.1.0 of lib
2. Code using ZigBee object rather than XBee object
3. Calling tx_long_addr

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Send data to a remote XBee

Stack trace is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./test2.py", line 23, in <module>
    main()
  File "./test2.py", line 15, in main
    zb.tx_long_addr(dest_addr=xbaddr, data="test")
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xbee/base.py", line 420, in __getattr__
    raise AttributeError("XBee has no attribute '%s'" % name)
AttributeError: XBee has no attribute 'tx_long_addr'

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.1.0, Python 2.7.4

Please provide any additional information below.

#! /usr/bin/python

import serial
from xbee import XBee, ZigBee
import sys

def main():
        ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyAMA0',9600)

        zb = ZigBee(ser, escaped=True)

        xbaddr = "\x00\x13\xA2\x00\x40\xA2\x5C\x50"

        zb.tx_long_addr(dest_addr=xbaddr, data="test")

        zb.halt()
        ser.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Background info:
All XBee's are series 2 (ZB)
Controller running API mode (receiving fine)
Number of endpoint XBee's running endpoint profile, AT mode

Hi Steve,

I'm glad the library is working well for you.

It turns out the message you are trying to send does not exist for XBee ZB 
devices; for these, you use the standard "tx" message with a long address. 
Don't forget to set the dest_addr field to b"\xFF\xFE" to tell the device to 
use the long address instead.

For a listing of the messages you can send for ZB devices, see
