Re: [Owfs-developers] Installing pyownet

Hi Stefano, Thanks for the reply and thank you for developing pyownet and making it available.  I have been using it for many years now. I have always been confused over the use of sudo when installing packages, my approach has generally been to not use sudo and see if it all works as expect

Re: [Owfs-developers] Installing pyownet

Re: [Owfs-developers] Installing pyownet
