I also considered in the past writing a backend using WinUSB directly, but with libusb-1.0 Windows backend, I decided to defer this decision to the future. The only reason I saw to write the backend from the ground up is because Windows culture of "the package contains anything you need to run it" (how many of you have installed a software that ships msvcrt libraries?). Even this reason I see as a weak one, because PyUSB does not aim the "normal user". But of course if you write the backend, and after code review and validation (does it pass in the regression tests?), I don't see any reason why does not ship it with PyUSB, at least in a kind of "extra" directory. I will be very grateful for your contribution and help you with all you need to do the job. -- Best Regards, Wander Lairson Costa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ pyusb-users mailing list pyusb-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pyusb-users
