pyUSB in karmic

[lazerradial2003]

I'm currently trying to install pyusb in Ubuntu Karmic. I've tried installing from the repositories and manually by downloading the tarball from SourceForge and running sudo setup.py install which gives the following output:

running install
running build
running build_ext
running install_lib
running install_egg_info
Writing /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pyusb-0.4.2-py2.6.egg-info

When I try and import usb.core which is one of the modules with the package I get the message "ImportError: No module named core" however "import usb" works fine.

Anyone got any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

how are you importing it, have you tried

from usb import core

Thanks for the reply, turned out the problem was that I was using commands for the 1.0 branch of pyusb but had downloaded the 0.4.x branch (which is the version made available on sourcefoge). 1.0 can be downloaded from the SVN (svn co https://pyusb.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pyusb pyusb
)

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) and I had to install pyusb version 1.0 to make it work. The problem is that Lucid only includes version 0.4 in its repository, so I had to install add a new source. Check out this site:
