Hello, I just joined the list and wanted to introduce myself. I'm an embedded systems developer and I'm looking for a cross-platform API to access HID devices. Python is my goto high level language. So these parameters led me straight to this project. I just dl'd and installed pyusb-1.0.0-a0 on Mac OS X (10.5.8) X86. I estimate that pyusb found an old libusb that I built ages ago. I'd like to know if there's a way to query pyusb which backend it is using.
Without any trouble, I've been able to do this:: >>> import usb.core >>> dev = usb.core.find() >>> dev <usb.core.Device object at 0x71abd0> >>> dev.bLength 18 I have OS X 10.5 and 10.6 systems on which I can validate pyusb. I'm still learning the API, so I don't know any good exercises yet. I did run the following test that came with the source:: $ pwd /Users/dwhall/dwh/code/other/pyusb-1.0.0-a0/tests $ python testall.py ....... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 7 tests in 0.003s OK My next goal is to create a higher-level interface using pyusb that does something like: import usb.util devs = usb.util.enumerate_hid() ... regards, !!Dean ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
