Python binding for the libusb C library.
Project description
libusb
Python binding for the libusb C library.
Overview
libusb uses the underlying libusb C shared library as specified in libusb.cfg (included libusb-X.X.* is the default), but there is also ability to specify it programmatically by one of the following ways:
import libusb
libusb.config(LIBUSB="libusb C shared library absolute path")
# or
libusb.config(LIBUSB=None) # included libusb-X.X.* will be usedAbout original libusb:
Borrowed from the original website:
libusb - A cross-platform user library to access USB devices
Overview
libusb is a C library that provides generic access to USB devices. It is intended to be used by developers to facilitate the production of applications that communicate with USB hardware.
It is portable: Using a single cross-platform API, it provides access to USB devices on Linux, OS X, Windows, Android, OpenBSD, etc.
It is user-mode: No special privilege or elevation is required for the application to communicate with a device.
It is version-agnostic: All versions of the USB protocol, from 1.0 to 3.1 (latest), are supported.
What platforms are supported?
Linux, OS X, Windows, Windows CE, Android, OpenBSD/NetBSD, Haiku.
For additional information, please consult the FAQ or the Wiki.
