Re: Python bindings - final solution

[Berni Joss <berni.joss@xxxxxxxxx>]

Both python bindings for  libftdi 1.2 and 1.4 work fine for me with python 2.7.

From your message it is not clear what your specific issue is, so it is not easy to provide more useful information :-)

There is a problem with the python bindings for libftdi.

Several sources [1, 2] say that to use python bindings with Python 2, libftdi has to be in version 1.0 <= libftdi <= 1.2, whereas to work with Python 3, it has to be >= 1.3.

That's quite unfortunate. Is there a possibility to resolve this issue so that a single version of libftdi would be usable in both Python 2 and Python 3?

People were reporting [3, 4, 5] even your own examples in repo fail to run in version 1.3+.

So far, I filed an Ubuntu packaging issue [6] to provide both version 1.2 and 1.4, but I think it has a pretty low probability to get resolved...

Thanks you for helping resolve this unfortunate issue.
