This module provides a python interface to XIMEA cameras. It is simply a repackaging of XIMEA's python drivers available at https://www.ximea.com/downloads/recent/XIMEA_Linux_SP.tgz (package/api/Python/v3/ximea) in order to allow for easier installation with pip, e.g. into virtual or conda environments.

On Linux, add users that will use the camera to the "plugdev" group:

sudo usermod -aG plugdev <myuser>

Install with:

pip install ximea-py

and use like so:

import ximea.xiapi

ximea.xiapi.Camera()
