    """Low level USB interface to weather station, using PyUSB.

    Introduction
    ============

    This module handles low level communication with the weather station
    via the `PyUSB <http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/pyusb/>`_ library. An
    alternative module, :doc:`pywws.device_cython_hidapi`, uses the
    `cython-hidapi <https://github.com/gbishop/cython-hidapi>`_ library.
    The choice of which module to use depends on which libraries are
    available for you computer.

    Users of recent versions of Mac OS have no choice. The operating
    system makes it very difficult to access HID devices (such as the
    weather station) directly, so the ``hidapi`` library has to be used.
    ``cython-hidapi`` is a Python interface to that library.

    Users of OpenWRT and similar embedded Linux platforms will probably
    not be able to install ``cython-hidapi``, so are constrained to use
    ``libusb`` and its ``PyUSB`` Python interface.

    Installation
    ============

    Some of this software may already be installed on your machine, so do
    check before downloading sources and compiling them yourself.

    #.  Install libusb and PyUSB.

        These should be available as packages for your operating system,
        but their names may vary. For example, on Ubuntu Linux::

            sudo apt-get install libusb-0.1 python-usb

        On some embedded linux systems::

            ipkg install libusb py25-usb

    Testing
    =======

    Run ``TestWeatherStation.py`` with increased verbosity so it reports
    which USB device access module is being used::

        python TestWeatherStation.py -vv
