Package: libusb
libusbPython binding for thelibusbC library.OverviewPythonlibusbmodule is a low-level binding forlibusbC library.It is an effort to allow python programs full access to the API implemented
and provided by the well known*libusb*library.PyPI record.Documentation.libusbis a lightweight Python package, based on thectypeslibrary.It is fully compliant implementation of the original Clibusb1.0 API
by implementing whole its functionality in a clean Python instead of C.libusbAPI 1.0 documentation can be found at:libusb-1.0 API Referencelibusbuses the underlyinglibusbC 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:importlibusblibusb.config(LIBUSB="libusb C shared library absolute path")# orlibusb.config(LIBUSB=None)# included libusb-X.X.* will be usedAbout original libusb:Borrowed from theoriginal website:libusb- A cross-platform user library to access USB devicesOverviewlibusbis 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 isportable: Using a single cross-platform API, it provides access
to USB devices on Linux, OS X, Windows, Android, OpenBSD, etc.It isuser-mode: No special privilege or elevation is required for the
application to communicate with a device.It isversion-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 theFAQor theWiki.RequirementsIt is a fully independent package.All necessary things are installed during the normal installation process.ATTENTION: currently works and tested only for Windows.InstallationPrerequisites:Python 3.8 or higherhttps://www.python.org/with C libusb 1.0.26 is a primary test environment.pip and setuptoolshttps://pypi.org/project/pip/https://pypi.org/project/setuptools/To install run:python -m pip install --upgrade libusbDevelopmentPrerequisites:Development is strictly based ontox.
