#27 Scan by VendorID/Product ID for USB Serial devices

[Anonymous]

We needed to be able to tie a VendorID/Product ID from a serial port to the device endpoint (aka COM1 or /dev/ttyXXX ) for some work we are doing. To that end, we created some new tools for Linux/Mac/Windows which ties a VendorID and ProductID to a serial port endpoint.

Our project is available at https://github.com/makerbot/pyserial

apologies I don't have time/skill to create a proper patch or diff file, but I think a core developer may do better grabbing our repo, and pulling the relevant code than I would.

The project code was done by Cibomahto and David Sayles, I'm just submitting it on their behalf.

I would also add the Usb SerialNumber.

I did the same thing, made a separate class which resolves vid/pid/serial to a /dev/ttyUSBx device. (That actually has to work the other way around as you have to start by resolving the ttyUSBx devices back to their Vid/Pid/Serial.)

Anyway, this feature is useful. But I think it does not belong within PySerial. It would be worth it becoming a module itself.

After checking with Cibomahto, i've added the list_ports implementation for OSX.
