Version: 0.12
Summary: Python bindings to d2xx and libftdi to access FT232 chips with the same interface as pyserial. Using this method gives easy access to the additional features on the chip like CBUS GPIO.

Description: # pyft232
        
        This module provides a simple Serial-Like interface to FT232 chips while still
        allowing access to the CBUS pins for controlling simple signals.
        
        Ctypes is used to interface with either FTDI's d2xx library (when available)
        or libftdi. In this way this package works on both Windows and Linux (and other
        libftdi supported OS's) without needing to mess with the FTDI drivers on windows.
        
        In contrast, pyftdi is more feature rich and also cross platform but requires
        special drivers on windows so you can't also use the FTDI chip as a pure
        COM port.
        
        
        ## Usage
        
        ```python
        import ft232
        
        serial_number = "FT1234"
        
        try:
            sp = ft232.Ft232(serial_number, baudrate=115200)
        except ft232.Ft232Exception:
            print("Unable to open the ftdi device: %s" % serial_number)
            sys.exit(1)
        
        #You may use sp as you would a Serial object
        sp.write(b"Hello World!\n")
        resp = sp.read(100)
        
        #If you want to use the CBUS pins, you enable them with cbus_setup
        # 'mask' is a bitmask which specifies which pins to enable
        # 'init' is a bitmask for the initial value for each pin
        sp.cbus_setup(mask=3, init=3)
        
        #Change the current value of all setup pins
        sp.cbus_write(2)
        
        #Print the current value of all setup pins
        print("CBUS: %s" % sp.cbus_read())
        
        ```
