Where can I get a pyusb manual?

[Aquiles]

Hi,

I want to access a USB device from a Python script, so I installed python-usb. But so far I've been unseccessfull when trying to find a manual or a reference guide. Would you point me to some documentation resource?

Thanks.

Take a look here for some ideas
http://bleyer.org/pyusb/

[Aquiles]

That's somewhere to start! Thanks.

Why pyusb?

os.system("sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdg /media/device")
os.chdir("/media/device")



That pyusb is for Windows. It doesn't run on Linux.

Your snippet of code is useful but he didn't say it was a usb drive.. maybe it is and maybe it isn't.
Could be some other usb device.

Here is an excerpt from one of the pyusb Documentations.......

3.8
FT_OpenEx
Supported Operating Systems
Linux
Mac OS X (10.4 and later)
Windows (2000 and later)
Windows CE (4.2 and later)

............. The rolling eyes are joke. I just thought I would throw one back at you.
Besides, no matter the OS there are many numbers of code examples in there that are useful to help along a programmer who needs usb help.

Really?
When you extract the sourse, don't forget to run it through dos2unix. I mean the one from your link.
Cheers.

Sorry I did that in a hurry. I should have added this in the event you would like to work with pyusb for Debian.
..Squeeze
http://packages.debian.org/source/squeeze/pyusb

...Lenny
http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/pyusb

And this is what is going from my terminal:

Code: Select all

alex@box:~/Download$ PyUSB-1.6/test/testProgram.py
bash: PyUSB-1.6/test/testProgram.py: python^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I wonder why.

[sqlpython]

I wonder why.

Did that cigarette burn down too far.........?
As I just pointed out download and use pyusb..
PyUSB is a separate item for their devices BUT as I said... You can read and learn from the Code Examples in the Documentation.

Are you sure I need to learn anything?

[sqlpython]

Are you sure I need to learn anything?

You be the judge of that.......
I know that you didn't compile the source from the makefile before you attempted to run their testProgarm.

Well, if you know how, post your way here. I have a lot of other things to do.

Me too, point is that the testProgram calls to import d2xx which you can't have until you compile their source.
I don't use PyUSB over pyusb myself because it has only been tested as they report with Win but my point is that the source is there for the adventurous. It may work fine.
If you remember.... this thread simply started out that a user wanted some help regarding code example for python and USB connections.
You did give one basic to mount a drive which is good.
Also I pointed out a manual of documentation with several coding examples and that may also be a help.
We are off on a tangent as to the usefulness or merits of PyUSB. Apparently, it works for Win and it is Python. Python is cross platform in most respects. I for one really don't care if Aquiles, You or I ever use PyUSB but the examples are still useful.....
and that is what Aquiles was most interested in seeing.

Case closed....
Cheers.
