aaahhh! (a light bulb moment) So because I grabbed the latest version of stretch (complete with a later version of pyusb) the later version of pyusb is not compatible with your usb utility, and by assumption and for the same reason the fineoffset usb driver used by weewx also has an issue. fro

Hi check the pyusb version on each os. this is due to a difference in the pyusb version, not jessie vs stretch. I am using the same usb utility u wrote to test the 4 port usb hub using either stretch or jessie. It works on jessie but not on stretch as shown below. (the hardware remains the sa
