Re: Compatibility layer for pyvisa?

Hi Alex,

You may want to have a look at pyvisa-py.  That seems to work nicely
for me without having to install the NI-VISA drivers.

Cheers,
 Roel

Hi

My understanding is this:
* linux-gpib implements drivers for many GPIB interfaces and provides
a 
  userspace API on top of that, which is great.
* pyvisa depends on vendor drivers like NI-VISA or the equivalent of 
  other vendors.

Is this correct?

I tried to get NI-VISA working yesterday in order to be able to use 
pyvisa with a NI PCI board, on a distribution that they do not want to 
support, on a i686 box.  I gave up after some hours, the configure 
script they have in there was written by drunk monkeys.

So, here is my question: Did anybody consider to make the linux-gpib 
drivers available to pyvisa?
