It exposes device metadata\u2014manufacturer, product name, vendor ID, product ID, bus and device numbers\u2014and provides a reset operation for devices like Bluetooth adapters. The package has no runtime dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel, making it quick to add to any project.\n\nThe library is in pre-alpha development but actively maintained, with recent commits and support for Python 3.10 through 3.14. It is designed for developers who need programmatic access to USB device information or the ability to reset devices without shell commands, particularly useful for Bluetooth device management and hardware troubleshooting workflows.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need programmatic USB device enumeration or reset. Low install friction, no dependencies, permissive license, and active maintenance make it a safe choice. Pre-alpha status means the API may change, so pin the version in production. No known vulnerabilities."},"id":"usb-devices","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/usb-devices","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/usb-devices.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/usb-devices/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"usb-devices","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Tools for mapping, describing, and resetting USB devices"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":673171,"position":5398,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.1"}
