#33 linux-gpib not detected by pyvisa in docker container

[Franco]

I'm trying to create a Python docker container that can access the USB-GPIB using pyvisa. In host OS I was able tu successfully install linux-gpib and pyvisa-info lists it. Inside a docker container running --privileged I can see the the /dev/gpib?, I can also see the connect USB using lsusb, but pyvisa complains that linux-gpib is not installed. I have tried to rebuild the linux-gpib-user inside the container but it did not solve the problem.

Did you try with plain python?

Example:

from Gpib import *
inst = Gpib(0, [gpib instrument addr])
inst.timeout(gpib.T10s)
inst.clear()
...

Could you please share the Dockerfile?
