There is no portable solution. Every operating system handles this kind of this very differently. Remember, the operating system abstractions are all designed to hide this from you. When you open a serial port or an audio device or use a file system, you aren't supposed to KNOW that there is a USB device behind it. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
