The wrapper encapsulates the native library and exposes its functionality to Python applications, handling the underlying HID API communication with the USB devices across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms.\n\nThe package is designed for embedded systems development and debugging workflows where you need to communicate with microcontroller boards over USB without writing to the native library directly. It supports multiple simultaneous LIBUSBSIO objects for different connected devices, offers configurable logging, and includes methods for device enumeration, opening by serial number or path, and controlling low-level HID read timeouts.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you own or work with NXP LPCLink2 or MCUlink Pro hardware and need to control SPI, I2C, or GPIO from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no external dependencies, carries a permissive license, and is free of known vulnerabilities. Install only if you have the required NXP hardware; it is not useful as a standalone library."},"id":"libusbsio","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/libusbsio","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/libusbsio.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/libusbsio/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-25","license_spdx":"BSD-3-Clause","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"libusbsio","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python wrapper around NXP LIBUSBSIO library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":545920,"position":6072,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2.1"}
