Hello,

I am trying to get pyusb working on OSX 10.8 with Python 2.7 (my goal is 
to be able to communicate with a novation nocturn using python, see 
https://github.com/dewert/nocturn-linux-midi which relies on pyusb.)

I installed libusb 1.0 through macports

$ port installed libusb -v
The following ports are currently installed:
   libusb @1.0.9_0 (active)
   libusb @1.0.9_0+universal

Now after installing pyusb (and setting PYUSB_DEBUG_LEVEL = debug), it 
seems pyusb cannot find any backend :

 >>> import usb
 >>> usb.core.find()
2013-03-09 10:28:47,635 ERROR:usb.backend.libusb1:Error loading libusb 
1.0 backend
Traceback (most recent call last):

     raise OSError('USB library could not be found')

   File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/usb/core.py", line 856, in find
     raise ValueError('No backend available')
ValueError: No backend available



Could anyone point me to the next thing to do in this case (I did search 
the mailing list and the internet, where similar issues where occuring, 
but I could not find an answer explicit enough for me to understand what 
to do: I am rather new to both OSX and Python)

Thanks,
Mathieu
