This module exports: IBackend - backend interface. Backends are Python objects which implement the IBackend interface. The easiest way to do so is inherinting from IBackend. PyUSB already provides backends for libusb versions 0.1 and 1.0, and OpenUSB library. Backends modules included with PyUSB are required to export the get_backend() function, which returns an instance of a backend object. You can provide your own customized backend if you want to. Bellow you find a skeleton of a backend implementation module: import usb.backend class MyBackend(usb.backend.IBackend): pass def get_backend(): return MyBackend() You can use your customized backend by passing it as the backend parameter of the usb.core.find() function. For example: import custom_backend import usb.core myidVendor = 0xfffe myidProduct = 0x0001 mybackend = custom_backend.get_backend() dev = usb.core.find(backend = mybackend, idProduct=myidProduct, idVendor=myidVendor) For custom backends, you are not required to supply the get_backend() function, since the application code will instantiate the backend. If you do not provide a backend to the find() function, it will use one of the defaults backend according to its internal rules. For details, consult the find() function documentation. """ __author__ = 'Wander Lairson Costa' __all__ = ['IBackend', 'libusb01', 'libusb10', 'openusb'] def _not_implemented(func): raise NotImplementedError(func.__name__) class IBackend(object): r"""Backend interface. IBackend is the basic interface for backend implementations. By default, the methods of the interface raise a NotImplementedError exception. A backend implementation should replace the methods to provide the funcionality necessary. As Python is a dynamic typed language, you are not obligated to inherit from IBackend: everything that bahaves like an IBackend is an IBackend. But you are strongly recommended to do so, inheriting from IBackend provides consistent default behavior.
