start indiserver via python was created by Gonzothegreat

I have a python script to start my observatory, which is the following
#!/usr/bin/env python2.7
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
 
import os
import time
import sys
import pykush
import wiringpi
 
wiringpi.wiringPiSetup()
#set EQ5 pin 2 to OUT
wiringpi.pinMode(2, 1)
#set Atik314 pin 3 to OUT
wiringpi.pinMode(3, 1)
 
 
def rain_check():
        print "Checking for rain"
        io = wiringpi.GPIO(wiringpi.GPIO.WPI_MODE_PINS)
        rain_check = io.digitalRead(6)
        if rain_check is 0:
                ykushon("YKC4434")
		time.sleep(2)
                ykushon("YKC4445")
		time.sleep(2)
		eq5()
		time.sleep(1)
		Atik314()
                exit(0)
        else:
                print 'Raining'
        exit(1)
 
def ykushon(serial_number):
        yk = pykush.YKUSH(serial=serial_number)
        yk.set_allports_state_up()
 
def eq5():
	eq5 = wiringpi.GPIO(wiringpi.GPIO.WPI_MODE_PINS)
	eq5.digitalWrite(2,0)
 
def Atik314():
        atik314 = wiringpi.GPIO(wiringpi.GPIO.WPI_MODE_PINS)
        atik314.digitalWrite(3,0)
 
rain_check()

I would like to add the ability to start the indiserver via the same script, I am aware of Pyindi-client but is there another python library I could use please?
Any pointers is appreciated.

Might be able to achieve this via the indiweb API github.com/knro/indiwebmanager

How about using the os module and simply invoking the indiserver command line with the drivers you need?

I have been able to port my start up script to Python3 and add the curl to start the indiserver (done the same for the shutdown script)
heidenrod@heidenrod-obs:~/scheduler$ cat p3obs_up.py 
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
 
import os

import odroid_wiringpi as wiringpi
import requests
 
wiringpi.wiringPiSetup()
# set EQ5 pin 2 to OUT
wiringpi.pinMode(2, 1)
# set Atik314 pin 3 to OUT
wiringpi.pinMode(3, 1)
 
 
def rain_check():
        print("Checking for rain")
        io = wiringpi.GPIO(wiringpi.GPIO.WPI_MODE_PINS)
        rain_check = io.digitalRead(6)
        if rain_check == 0:
                ykushon("YKC4434")
                time.sleep(2)
                ykushon("YKC4445")
                time.sleep(2)
                eq5()
                time.sleep(1)
                Atik314()
                time.sleep(2)
                indiON()
                exit(0)
        else:
                print("Raining")
        exit(1)
