USB devices generally(*) either emulate existing devices, such as serial
ports -- in which case Python already supports them as the emulated 
device -- or they have a special DLL just for the purpose, and programs
must be written specifically to talk to them -- in which case "ctypes"
or the older "calldll" modules might be of use, or you could wrap the
DLL with your own extension written in C. (ugh)
