There is a problem with the python bindings for libftdi.
Several sources [1, 2] say that to use python bindings with Python 2,
libftdi has to be in version 1.0 <= libftdi <= 1.2, whereas to work with
Python 3, it has to be >= 1.3.
That's quite unfortunate. Is there a possibility to resolve this issue
so that a single version of libftdi would be usable in both Python 2 and
Python 3?
People were reporting [3, 4, 5] even your own examples in repo fail to
run in version 1.3+.
So far, I filed an Ubuntu packaging issue [6] to provide both version
1.2 and 1.4, but I think it has a pretty low probability to get resolved...
Thanks you for helping resolve this unfortunate issue.
