Hi Charles,

What kind of device are you trying to communicate with?

Regards, Jacques-D.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your time and feedback; it's taken awhile to get back to this.
On permissions, I had checked/changed permissions previously but re-checked and found a missed one in /python3.5/site-packages/usb/backend- happened to be libusb1.pywhich was flagged - all fixed now I had also not checked the /dev/*USB* but did and gave necessary permissions

still get the same error diagnostic which still ends usb.core.USBError: [Errno 13] Access denied (insufficient permissions)"

usb.core.USBError: [Errno 13] Access denied (insufficient permissions)
so basically no change.

Now the interesting bit. I tried running as root
root@raspi3:/home/pi/PyProj# python3.5 pyusb_1.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pyusb_1.py", line 2, in <module>
    import usb.core
ImportError: No module named 'usb'

same result if I simply sudo python3.5 pyusb_1.py

when I run python3.5 from the terminal and get the python >>> prompt there is no trouble with 'import' and checking with 'help(usb)' shows the module is there and accessible.

Interesting though is that I have the same problem on all linux, so whatever I did wrong I did it each time. I have tried installing pyusb with PIP and sudo apt-get but it makes no difference.

The further I go with this the darker the tunnel gets.

Cheers
Charles

    i saw this message:

        usb.core.USBError: [Errno 13] Access denied (insufficient
permissions)

    when i was using a wrong driver in Windows 10. I could also see
    the whole usb device descriptor, just could not interact with it.

    my suggestion is to try to re install or update the libusb driver

        Hi,
        I usually manage to solve my problems by hitting my head
        against them until I get a breakthrough. This time nothing.
        I am new to trying PYUSB. I have the same problem with 2
        installations.
        1) Ubuntu Mate 16.04 on Kernel Linux 4.15.0-43-generic
        x86_64running on AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
        2) Raspbian (Jessie) on Raspberry Pi 3B+

        Also I confirm that libusb-1.0-0
        <https://pkgs.org/download/libusb-1.0-0> is there on both.

        After installation I started the tutorial (why not?) but did
        not get far:

        import usb.core
        import usb.util

        dev = usb.core.find(idVendor=0x1d6b, idProduct=0x0003)
        print(dev)
        /OK so far and I get:/

        which tells me that pyusb is installed and is finding USB.core
        and seems to be working.
        When I take the next step in the tutorial:
        dev.set_configuration()

        it all turns to custard and I get:

        raceback (most recent call last):
          File "/home/wilson/temPY/USBtest01.py", line 11, in <module>
            dev.set_configuration()

        usb.core.USBError: [Errno 13] Access denied (insufficient
        permissions)

        This on the AMD system, the diagnostic on the Raspi is similar
        but not identical.

        I have worked through the other similar postings on the
        mailing list - while similar their problems were at a more
        complex level --- I am at step 1 with the tutorial ...
        I have also worked through the occurrences of
        set_configuration() in the ...usb/core.py module and could see
        no reason for dev.set_configuration() to bomb-out.

        I have racked my brains and consulted my local gurus with no
        joy .... so any help would be appreciated - I have a feeling
        it is something dumb that I have missed.

        Cheers
        Charles
