python读取usb数据,使用Python读取USB-GPS信息

I've written a small python script that uses information from a usb gps dongle. This far I've been working in linux where I could just identify the device in /dev/ and read NMEA data from it using pySerial. This isn't a perfect solution though and it's not platform independent in any way so I started looking at pyUSB to try to communicate with the device.

The device:

Product name: ND-100S

baud rate: 4800

USB class: 0xEF

subclass: 2

My problem is that I know very little about usb so I don't know how to initialize and read sentences from it.

My testing code this far looks like:

import usb

import sys

device = usb.core.find(bDeviceClass=0xef)

print " + Class: %s" % device.bDeviceClass

print " + Subclass: %i" % device.bDeviceSubClass

print " + Protocol: %i" % device.bDeviceProtocol

print " + Length : %s" % device.bLength

print " + Configurations: %i" % device.bNumConfigurations

... Mostly just getting information about the device.

Anyone have any experience with this?

even if it is USB dongle, you communicate with GPS device via serial interface only. However, there are a dozen of NMEA flavors so if you want it to be more platform independent, I would suggest using python-gpsd.
