To integrate a TOSUN CAN device

[sy950915]

Hello, I am an employee of Shanghai Tongxing Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. We are interested in integrating our company's device into Python-can. Currently, many users are requesting the ability to use our device directly within Python-can. At present, we achieve this by installing Python-can and then adding our own files into the Python-can directory to enable this functionality. However, this approach is not as seamless as having our device fully integrated into Python-can, and we are looking for a more convenient solution.

Hi, you can create and publish your own package, which python-cans entry point as described here. We will add your package as an extra dependency and mention it in our documentation.

@zariiii9003 Hello, at the moment, our approach requires users to first install Python-can and then configure it manually in order to use our device. We would like to discuss the possibility of directly integrating our device into Python-can, so that users can install Python-can via pip and use our device without any additional configuration—similar to how Vector devices are supported.

Your users would install your package as an extra dependency with pip install python-can[tosun]. No additional configuration necessary.

I've manually added your compatible python file to python-can @sy950915 ,There were a few small problem. I changed some code manually for TOSUN.
I hope the next version of python-can, tosun will be officially supported. Python-can is the most popular library in python, so focus on it, (- v -)
