Thanks for that. 

I tried downgrading pyusb but it seemed difficult.
I tried changing fousb.py to use the new version of pyusb but it seemed 
difficult. 
I tried making fousb.py use the legacy interface to pyusb but that turned 
into a black hole of pain.

So I hacked fousb.py to execute the yepkit command directly. yuck! but it 
seems to work.

Thanks,
Don
