Using the Python Extensions in Windows #93

Closed williamblair333 closed 5 months ago

williamblair333 commented 2 years ago

I'm certain I'm being ignorant - but I had to ask: Can the python extensions of usbrelay be exported and used in Windows? Apologies for posting here as I didn't know where else to ask. Thanks.

I guess it's theoretically possible, but it will need some work. We use the hidapi library, which should work on Windows, but I don't think that our code has ever be compiled for Windows. We probably have few Linux specific things in our code and if somebody replaces them with platform independent code, it might work.

If time allows, I might look into this eventually.

I had a quick look at mingw and cross compiling, looks like it's doable for the command line tool and library. The python extension is another matter.

I may not be useful, but, what can someone do to assist?

darrylb123 commented 2 years ago

No. The python extension is a wrapper around libusbrelay.

I need to find someone that uses/develops on windows to add the required code for windows.
