        Dependencies
        ============
        
        - CPython_ 2.7+ or 3.4+, pypy_ 2.0+. Older versions may work, but are not
          recommended as there is no automated regression testing set up for them.
        
        - libusb-1.0_ or libusbx_
        
        Supported OSes
        ==============
        
        python-libusb1 can be expected to work on:
        
        - GNU/Linux
        
        - Windows [#]_ native dll or via Cygwin_
        
        - OSX [#]_ via MacPorts_, Fink_ or Homebrew_
        
        - FreeBSD (including Debian GNU/kFreeBSD)
        
        - OpenBSD
        
        .. [#] Beware of libusb-win32, which implements 0.1 API, not 1.0 .
        
        .. [#] Beware of possible lack of select.poll if you want to use asynchronous
               API.

        Usage
        =====
        
        Finding a device and gaining exclusive access:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import usb1
            with usb1.USBContext() as context:
                handle = context.openByVendorIDAndProductID(
                    VENDOR_ID,
                    PRODUCT_ID,
                    skip_on_error=True,
                )
                if handle is None:
                    # Device not present, or user is not allowed to access device.
                with handle.claimInterface(INTERFACE):
                    # Do stuff with endpoints on claimed interface.
        
        Synchronous I/O:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            while True:
                data = handle.bulkRead(ENDPOINT, BUFFER_SIZE)
                # Process data...
        
        Asynchronous I/O, with more error handling:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            def processReceivedData(transfer):
                if transfer.getStatus() != usb1.TRANSFER_COMPLETED:
                    # Transfer did not complete successfully, there is no data to read.
                    # This example does not resubmit transfers on errors. You may want
                    # to resubmit in some cases (timeout, ...).
                    return
                data = handle.getBuffer()[:transfer.getActualLength()]
                # Process data...
                # Resubmit transfer once data is processed.
                transfer.submit()
        
            # Build a list of transfer objects and submit them to prime the pump.
            transfer_list = []
            for _ in xrange(TRANSFER_COUNT):
                transfer = handle.getTransfer()
                transfer.setBulk(
                    usb1.ENDPOINT_IN | ENDPOINT,
                    BUFFER_SIZE,
                    callback=processReceivedData,
                )
                transfer.submit()
                transfer_list.append(transfer)
            # Loop as long as there is at least one submitted transfer.
            while any(x.isSubmitted() for x in reader_list):
                try:
                    context.handleEvents()
                except usb1.USBErrorInterrupted:
                    pass

        Documentation
        =============
        
        python-libusb1 main documentation is accessible with python's standard
        ``pydoc`` command.
        
        python-libusb1 follows libusb-1.0 documentation as closely as possible, without
        taking decisions for you. Thanks to this, python-libusb1 does not need to
        duplicate the nice existing `libusb1.0 documentation`_.
        
        Some description is needed though on how to jump from libusb-1.0 documentation
        to python-libusb1, and vice-versa:
        
        ``usb1`` module groups libusb-1.0 functions as class methods. The first
        parameter (when it's a ``libusb_...`` pointer) defined the class the fonction
        belongs to. For example:
        
        - :c_code:`int libusb_init (libusb_context **context)` becomes USBContext class
          constructor, :python_code:`USBContext.__init__(self)`
        
        - :c_code:`ssize_t libusb_get_device_list (libusb_context *ctx,
          libusb_device ***list)` becomes an USBContext method, returning a
          list of USBDevice instances, :python_code:`USBDevice.getDeviceList(self)`
        
        - :c_code:`uint8_t libusb_get_bus_number (libusb_device *dev)` becomes an
          USBDevice method, :python_code:`USBDevice.getBusNumber(self)`
        
        Error statuses are converted into :python_code:`usb1.USBError` exceptions, with
        status as ``value`` instance property.
        
        ``usb1`` module also defines a few more functions and classes, which are
        otherwise not so convenient to call from Python: the event handling API needed
        by async API.
        
        History
        =======
        
        0.0.1
        -----
        
        Initial release
        
        0.1.1
        -----

        -----
        
        Fix asynchronous configuration transfers.
        
        Stand-alone polling thread for multi-threaded apps.
        
        More libusb methods exposed on objects, including ones not yet part of
        released libusb versions (up to their commit 4630fc2).
        
        2to3 friendly.
        
        Drop deprecated USBDevice.reprConfigurations method.
        
        0.2.1
        -----
        
        Add FreeBSD support.
        
        0.2.2
        -----
        
        Add Cygwin support.
        
        OpenBSD support checked (no change).
        
        0.2.3
        -----
        
        Add fink and homebrew support on OSX.
        
        Drop PATH_MAX definition.
        
        Try harder when looking for libusb.
        
        1.0.0
        -----
        
        Fix FreeBSD ABI compatibility.
        
        Easier to list connected devices.
        
        Easier to terminate all async transfers for clean exit.
        
        Fix few segfault causes.
        
        pypy support.
        
        1.1.0
        -----
        
        Descriptor walk API documented.
        
        Version and capability APIs exposed.
        
        Some portability fixes (OSes, python versions).
        
        Isochronous transfer refuses to round transfer size.
        
        Better exception handling in enumeration.
        
        Add examples.
        
        Better documentation.
        
        1.2.0
        -----
        
        Wrap hotplug API.
        
        Wrap port number API.
        
        Wrap kernel auto-detach API.
        
        Drop wrapper for libusb_strerror, with compatibility place-holder.
        
        Add a few new upstream enum values.
        
        1.3.0
        -----
        
        **Backward-incompatible change**: Enum class now affects caller's local scope,
        not its global scope. This should not be of much importance, as:
        
        - This class is probably very little used outside libusb1.py
        
        - This class is probably mostly used at module level, where locals == globals.
        
          It is possible to get former behaviour by providing the new ``scope_dict``
          parameter to ``Enum`` constructor::
        
            SOME_ENUM = libusb1.Enum({...}, scope_dict=globals())
        
        Improve start-up time on CPython by not importing standard ``inspect`` module.
        
        Fix some more USBTransfer memory leaks.
        
        Add Transfer.iterISO for more efficient isochronous reception.
        
        1.3.1
        -----
        
        Fixed USBContext.waitForEvent.
        
        Fix typo in USBInterfaceSetting.getClassTuple method name. Backward
        compatibility preserved.
        
        Remove globals accesses from USBDeviceHandle destructor.
        
        Assorted documentation improvements.
        
        1.3.2
        -----
        
        Made USBDevice instances hashable.
        
        Relaxed licensing by moving from GPL v2+ to LGPL v2.1+, for consistency with
        libusb1.
        
        1.4.0
        -----
        
        Reduce (remove ?) the need to import libusb1 module by exposing USBError and
        constants in usb1 module.
        
        Fix libusb1.LIBUSB_ENDPOINT_ENDPOINT_MASK and
        libusb1.LIBUSB_ENDPOINT_DIR_MASK naming.
        
        Fix pydoc appearance of several USBContext methods.
        
        Define exception classes for each error values.
        
        1.4.1
        -----
        
        Fix wheel generation (``python3 setup.py bdist_wheel``).
        
        1.5.0
        -----
        
        controlWrite, bulkWrite and interruptWrite now reject (with TypeError) numeric
        values for ``data`` parameter.
        
        Fix libusb1.REQUEST_TYPE_* names (were TYPE_*). Preserve backward
        compatibility.
        
        Add USBContext.getDeviceIterator method.
        
        Rename USBContext.exit as USBContext.close for consistency with other USB*
        classes. Preserve backward compatibility.
        
        Make USBDeviceHandle.claimInterface a context manager, for easier interface
        releasing.
        
        1.5.1
        -----
        
        Introduce USBPollerThread.stop .
        
        Fix USBDeviceHandle.getSupportedLanguageList bug when running under python 3.
        While fixing this bug it was realised that this method returned ctypes objects.
        This was not intended, and it now returns regular integers.
        
        1.5.2
        -----
        
        Make USBTransfer.cancel raise specific error instances.
        
        1.5.3
        -----
        
        Fix USBTransfer.cancel exception raising introduced in 1.5.2: it was
        accidentally becomming a bound method, preventing the raise to actually
        happen (in at least CPython 2.x) or raising type conversion errors (in at least
        CPython 3.5.2).
        
        1.6
        ---
        
        Improve asynchronous transfer performance: (very) suboptimal code was used to
        initialise asynchronous transfer buffer. As a consequence, usb1 now exposes
        ``bytearrays`` where it used to expose ``bytes`` or ``str`` objects.
        
        Deprecate libusb1 module import, which should not be needed since all (?)
        needed constants were re-bound to usb1 module.
        
        Move testUSB1 module inside usb1, to eventually only expose usb1 as top-level
        module.
        
        1.6.1
        -----
        
        Fix getSupportedLanguageList.
        
        Fix and extend get{,ASCII}StringDescriptor .
        
        Fix iterISO and getISOBufferList.
        
        1.6.2
        -----
        
        Fix getASCIIStringDescriptor: unlike getStringDescriptor, this returns only the
        payload of the string descriptor, without its header.
        
        1.6.3
        -----
        
        Deprecate USBPollerThread . It is mileading users for which the simple version
        (a thread calling ``USBContext.handleEvents``) would be enough. And for more
        advanced uses (ie, actually needing to poll non-libusb file descriptors), this
        class only works reliably with epoll: kqueue (which should tehcnically work)
        has a different API on python level, and poll (which has the same API as epoll
        on python level) lacks the critical ability to change the set of monitored file
        descriptors while a poll is already running, causing long pauses - if not
        deadlocks.
