Dear Mr, Mrs,

During working with Python, I have a matter that I am finding a solution. I
am not an experience programmer in Python, so may I raise this question to
you? I really appreciate for any help.

I have a board that have a Real Time Clock (RTC) chip on that board. I need
to communicate with that RTC chip by Python.

Following is my hardware info.
- Board from Variscite:
http://www.variscite.com/products/single-board-computers/dt6customboard
- RTC chip on board: ISL12057
- OS: Yocto

I need to do 2 basic operations for this RTC chip
- Write/Read to registers of that RTC.
- Detect the Interrupt at each time it asserted.

Do we have any technique or library of Python that can do the above
operations?

Thanks.

Best regards,
TuanLe
