Python API for Raspberry Server?

Submitted by mippen on #1

I'm using a Raspberry Zero W as server. Works great.

I would like to add a Display Hat showing the same information about connected devices as the client shows.

Is there an API that can be used for a phyton script talking to the display getting the connected device data info?

All control is done via the client. So you can just run the virtualhere console client on the pi0w as well as the server.

Then just call

vhclientarmhf -t "GET CLIENT STATE"

to return the state of the system as an XML document and parse that using python
