Setting gpio pins

Question

I am using a cincoze cv-p2012 which has 16 GPIO lines defined as DO1-DO8 for output and DI1 - DI8 for input these are controlled by a super i/o chip F81866A I can see there is a driver present

I am trying to toggle the outputs and read the inputs in python I have installed gpiod how do I access the pins. In C it appears straight forward but I can not work out how to do it using python.

You can try ctypes A foreign function library for Python
