This is a great misunderstanding. The base API is owlib. owlib accesses
the serial portm, the i2c port or the USB (via libusb) to control the
onewire host adapter
owfs, owserver and some of the language bindings (including python) use
this API. In addition, there's the OWnet API, which can only use socket
connections to a running owserver. E.g. the OWnet perl binding uses
this. None of the language bindings rely on the mounted ow filesystem.
If you plan to use owpython only, you don't need the owfs or owserver
nor anything fuse. Just import ow, ow.init('u') and there you go.
Kind regards
