[pyusb-users] question

[Jay N. <ja...@ne...>]

I am using pyusb in my Python 2.7 environment getting the status of the
Zebra KR403 printer and having good success on a Windows 7 64 bit PC. Now I
am ready to test this on my target machine. I have created my executable
program with py2exe and tested the exe on my development PC and it works
fine but when I move it to my target PC I get a message "No Backend
Available" when it gets to the "dev = usb.core.find(idVendor=int(VID),
idProduct=int(PID))" part of my code. I convert the hex to an integer here
but when using the hex value I get the same issue on my target PC, even with
hex value, both hex and converting to integer work fine on the development
PC so I do not think the issue is here. 

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "ZebraKR403PaperStatus1.0.py", line 98, in <module>

  File "usb\core.pyc", line 846, in find

ValueError: No backend available

 

I am not sure what is causing the issue. It seems as though there is a
missing dll or something that is required to make this work and it did not
make it to my target PC. Any suggestions or ideas what I may be missing
would be greatly appreciated.

PyUSB on Windows depends either of libusb 1.0 or libusb-win32.
Contrary to the unices version, libusb on Windows needs to attach as a
device driver. You can use zadig to install libusb (or libusb-win32)
driver for your device. libusb uses the WinUSB driver (which is
shipped with Windows). If you want to redistribute your software to
users, you will have to provide a driver package to the user
(basically writing an inf file and ship the binaries). However, giving
details on how to do that is out of scope of this mailing list. OSR

I have the LibUSB-Win32 installed and the test program is connected to my Zebra KR403 printer and I can see the configuration info for the printer so I think my driver package is ok. I am curious though about the libusb0.dll. I see that it is installed in C:\Windows\System32\Config\ and I do not think my program is looking for it there. I put a copy of the dll file in the root of System32 and my program now works on my target PC.

Then your driver installation is not correct. You should use
Zadig to install libusb-win32 driver (or WinUSB driver).

Ok,

I have a new problem. I am using libusb-win32-bin-1.2.6.0. I am using the
libusb0.dll and libusb0.sys. I am communicating to a ZebraKR403 printer
checking for the status. On my dev PC this is working and I have packaged my
program with py2exe and installed it on my first target PC along with the
libusb-win32-bin-1.2.6.0 and it is working fine. On my second PC I am
getting an error when the program runs. 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ZebraKR403PaperStatus1.0.py", line 1, in <module>
  File "usb\__init__.pyc", line 97, in <module>
  File "usb\legacy.pyc", line 29, in <module>
  File "usb\core.pyc", line 50, in <module>
ImportError: No module named _objfinalizer 


The only difference between the PC's is the windows OS, both Windows 7, one
64 bit and the one not working is 32 bit. The exe package was created on a
32 bit machine with py2exe. Any idea?

Did you install the driver on the 2nd PC?

Yes the driver is installed on the second PC.
