Description

Communicate with Controller Area Network buses from Python programs. It lets software send, receive, filter, and inspect CAN messages used by vehicles, industrial equipment, test benches, and embedded devices.

This is for developers and hardware technicians, not a general desktop app. CAN traffic can affect real devices, so use it only with hardware you are allowed to test and avoid sending messages to vehicles or machinery without a safe test setup.
