import as module

[dmhuisma]

Can this be imported as a module instead of executing using cli? I am trying to bundle my application using pyinstaller, with it invoking the command "python3 cc2538-bsl.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -e -w -v firmware.hex" using subprocess.run. It seems to try to use my pc's python environment instead of the bundled runtime (it could be argued that this should be handled by pyinstaller, but I am looking into this on both fronts). This would not be an issue if I could import it and use it as a module. The reason this is an issue is because it defeats the purpose of pyinstaller, the user now must have a python runtime installed.

I have found a workaround.

I used pyinstaller to create an executable out of cc2538-bsl. Now I don't have to worry about the python environment when I execute it.

I will leave this issue open because I think it is still a good idea to be able to import this as a module, so that it can be easily used within other python projects, especially when it must be bundled and deployed like in my case.

This is indeed definitely a feature we want, will need to look into it how much work and changes it would be.
PRs on this more than welcome!
