Missing chip data file after pipy installation

[kossnikita]

Found CH552.
BTVER: V2.50.
Bootloader version not supported.

[vowstar]

The version on pipy is relatively old, please use the source code directly to support the version you mentioned. This tool has been tested to support versions 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 and higher, the version you reported is probably not the version in the current code. Please use branch https://github.com/MarsTechHAN/ch552tool/commit/master

Run pip install --upgrade ch55xtool and try again

52 is id in HEX, but in the typeall.wcfg it is in DEC. Could there be a problem here?

[vowstar]

This is because the chip data file is missing after pipy is installed, so the installation from pipy cannot be programmed. https://github.com/MarsTechHAN/ch552tool/blob/master/ch55xtool/typeall.wcfg This is a bug in packaging.

[vowstar]

We have figured out the cause of this bug and repackaged v1.0.2. The new package will install two chip id configuration files, extended.wcfg and typeall.wcfg. This is not a hex conversion problem, but the file is not found. Run pip install --upgrade ch55xtool and try again

[kossnikita]

It's works! Thanks!

Should perhaps this line: https://github.com/MarsTechHAN/ch552tool/blob/b9979e47b05498e6e2d1a614984f025db94766e8/ch55xtool/ch55xtool.py#L469 be changed to this?

pathname = os.path.dirname(__file__)

then ch55xtool would work as well as python3 -m ch55xtool.

Thanks a lot, this is a nice improvement.
