As a driver writer, I am now required by law to give you the "party line" speech. For USB devices that have a serial number descriptor, the PnP device ID (in the "device path") happens to include that serial number. However, the format of the device ID is undocumented and, officially, subject to change at any time. Those of us who have been working with it know that this format has remained the same since PnP was introduced, and it is vanishingly unlikely that it will ever change in the future. However, the official word is that you should treat the device path as an opaque token. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
