Re: [Pyusb-users] support for OS X ??

[Brendan S. (eTRIX) <Bre...@eT...>]

Answering my own question here.

The answer is yes.
I ran usbenum.py on Mac OS X 10.5 and it gave me what the Vendor IDs and
Product IDs which is what I wanted :)

The readme indicates that it works on MSW and Linux too, so that's great
-- exactly what I need.
