Hi there all, I just would like to let you know why pyusb development has been stalled for a while. As you might know, I develop pyusb in my free time.
This year things has been quite busy in work, not in terms the work hours, but on concentration energy. I work for Mozilla and I was on the team responsible to Migrate OSX Firefox automated tests to Taskcluster [1]. This was a very hard project that devoted my full attention. Besides that, (and even more important) a couple of years ago I found out I suffer from GAD [2] and Depression, and have been treating it through medication and therapy since then. For the last past year things got really worse, so all energy I had left was canalized to keep up with my main job, leaving almost nothing for side projects. As you might know, mental disorders are not fully understood by medicine and treatment takes time to have effects, and it is a role coaster in terms of progress. So you might expect a large variance in development speed ratio. I am so sorry for all you who is impacted by unsolved issues and slow responses. I hope July or August slowly come back to work on PyUSB. Finally, I intend to continue pyusb development within my health capacity, but this a project belonging to OSS/Free Software (pick whatever you prefer), so, if there is someone with more time volunteering to lead the project, I am willing to step away as main maintainer for the sake of project.
