You can install in a usual way for Python modules using distutils, so use setup.py which is placed in the top level directory:

./setup.py build
sudo ./setup.py install

You can also install it using pip installer:

pip install python-gammu

To compile python-gammu, you need Gammu development files (usually shipped as libgammu-dev or gammu-devel in Linux distributions).

The location of the libraries is discovered using pkg-config, GAMMU_PATH environment variable and falls back to generic locations. In case it does not work, either install pkg-config or set GAMMU_PATH.

On Linux something like this should work:

GAMMU_PATH=/opt/gammu python setup.py build

On Windows:

SET GAMMU_PATH="C:\Gammu"
python setup.py build

Please see included python documentation:

>>> import gammu
>>> help(gammu)

Alternatively you can use Sphinx to generate browsable version, which is also available on-line at <https://wammu.eu/docs/manual/>.

Any feedback is welcome, see <https://wammu.eu/support/> for information how to contact developers.
