Using libftdi s really my preferred approach at this moment, as long as I can continue to use the FT232R in both serial and bitbang mode.  And the pylibftdi documents certainly make it appear this is possible:

The truth is that I'm still trying to figure out how to install libftdi (I *did* mention that I'm not conversant in Windows-speak).  So that's where I'm focusing my efforts at the moment.

Hello Robert,

you can use libftdi for all the application? I don't see why you shop for
another tool.
