If you are saying that PyUSB is unsuitable for HID devices, then this is very annoying, I have dedicated two weeks to getting PyUSB up and running for my project. As writers and maintainers of the code, I would expect such a disclaimer to be placed in a large font at the top of the tutorial / about pages. Ref: https://github.com/libusb/libusb/wiki/FAQ#does-libusb-support-usb-hid-devices If you need cross platform HID access, then you may need to look at HIDAPI and its python binding. http://www.signal11.us/oss/hidapi/ https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hidapi If you only use Python and only care about Windows, you may want to give pywinusb a try. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pywinusb/ -- Xiaofan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Announcing the Oxford Dictionaries API!
