Allow only 0 to 255 in set_pwm about pigpio HOT 3 CLOSED

This is more to do with philosophy than anything else.

The user should not be calling a function with incorrect parameters. If a function is called incorrectly it indicates there is a logic error in the program. I do not believe that such logic errors should be ignored, they should be corrected.

Sure, I totally agree with this.
For functions like I posted, it is a bit annoying to check if i < 0: i=0.
A way to solve this would be a kwarg like this:

def set_PWM_dutycycle(self, user_gpio, dutycycle, error_save=False):
if error_save:
    if dutycycle < 0:
        dutycycle = 0
    if dutycycle > 255:
        dutycycle = 255
return _u2i(_pigpio_command(
     self.sl, _PI_CMD_PWM, user_gpio, int(dutycycle)))

from pigpio.

An even better way would be to correct the logic error.

I shall not be changing the way error handling works in this or similar functions.

By the way the dutycycle range defaults to 0..255, but the user can change the range.
