Example code required

[danie007]

Hi,

It would be good to have some fully functional XMODEM example, for getting the file that is sent using Linux sz tool. (https://linux.die.net/man/1/sz)

My other questions are,

1. Is it actively maintained?
2. Does it support Python 3.10

Thanks in advance, let me know if I can be helpful in any sort.

@jquast Could you help?

@danie007 sorry for the delay,

• I suppose you are wishing for an example using lrzsz package upfront in README file? We do have automatic tests in the repository for using lrzsz for next release, https://github.com/tehmaze/xmodem/blob/jq/prepare-next-release/test/functional/test_xmodem_using_lrzsz.py
  • It would be nice to complete the xmodem CLI to perform these features directly. there is old python -m xmodem code to send and recv files, but the implementation was not complete, I have left it as-is and removed the unreachable code, including the suggested idea of using PySerial and provide CLI for that. https://github.com/tehmaze/xmodem/blob/abb65d34555f891faf85e92db4396db5e810fac3/xmodem/__init__.py#L719-L730
• I think I am the only maintainer for now, I get busy, but I am trying to freshen this package and increase code coverage, several recent bugs resolved were in error handling that was missing coverage, so I've focused on that.
• Yes, the next release is tested on python 3.10 (and 3.11..)
