fx2load uses libusb-1.0.  There are python bindings over the c++ 
driver.  In the python bindings, I named the device dev so I can type 
dev.open, dev.close etc in the python terminal.

Actually though, for the project I have that uses fx2lib, I have my own 
driver that is cross platform and uses libusb0.  I still use python 
bindings though and can talk to the device on both Linux and Windows.
