[Pyusb-users] printing manufacturer, product and serial number strings

[Brendan S. (eTRIX) <Brendan.Simon@eTRIX.com.au>]

How do I print manufacturer, product and serialNumber strings using pyusb ??

I found the lsusb example here:

    http://wiki.erazor-zone.de/wiki:projects:python:pyusb:setup:examples:lsusb

but it didn't work :(


The dev.open().getString(1,30) caused a USB error.

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "lsusb.py", line 7, in <module>
        print "Bus %s Device %s: ID %04x:%04x %s" %
    (bus.dirname,dev.filename,dev.idVendor,dev.idProduct,dev.open().getString(1,30))
    usb.USBError: usb_control_msg(DeviceRequestTO): unknown error


I'm sure there is a simple solution, but this newbie is stuck :)

Thanks, Brendan.
