avoid using print() function

[gowhari]

This is just a copy of connect_serial() method from brping/device.py (ver 0.1.5)

def connect_serial(self, device_name: str, baudrate: int =115200):
    if device_name is None:
        print("Device name is required")
        return

    try:
        print("Opening %s at %d bps" % (device_name, baudrate))

        ## Serial object for device communication
        # write_timeout fixes it getting stuck forever atempting to write to
        # /dev/ttyAMA0 on Raspberry Pis, this raises an exception instead.
        self.iodev = serial.Serial(device_name, baudrate, write_timeout=1.0)
        self.iodev.send_break()
        time.sleep(0.001)
        self.iodev.write("U".encode("ascii"))

    except Exception as exception:
        raise Exception("Failed to open the given serial port: {0}".format(exception))

The request here is: Kindly avoid using the print function in a library like this. If the device name is required, it should be handled as an exception, not with a print and return:

raise ValueError("Device name is required")

And the next print is indeed a logging:

logger.info("Opening %s at %d bps", device_name, baudrate)

I've had to use workarounds to prevent these prints from being sent to my app's stdout:

def brping_muted_print(*args, **kw):
    if len(args) == 1:
        args = args[0]
    log('brping: %s', args)
# brping module uses raw print statements for logging
# with this trick, we turn them into proper logs
brping.device.print = brping_muted_print

Thanks
