You can't identify the ports.[1] What good would it do you? The ports on your PC are not numbered. You certainly CAN identify the devices, by their VID and PID (or idVendor and idProduct). You identify by function, not by location. When you plug in a USB drive, you don't want to worry about where it's plugged in. === [1]: OK, technically, it is not impossible to identify the port numbers, but it is quite tedious. You need to chase through the sysfs expansion of your buses hub/port tree and find a match for your device. It's not worth the trouble. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
