It seems to me that you have two choices here, either do the equivalent in python or dig through the Keithley documentation to find the hex codes that usbtmc is presumably translating your commands into. If you can find those, and if you are interested, I can send you off-line the handler I wrote a couple of years ago that used a dictionary to translate English commands into hex, then assembled those with a checksum and sent the string out to a Keyspan usb to serial converter.

OK - I've excerpted some of the relevant code (the original was much longer and included a lot of error checking). Please understand that the comments were for my own use, this was never intended to see the light of day (as it were). Also, the structure grew from a situation where I only had to worry about a single controller model - single relay model to one where I had to be able to deal with two controllers and two relay models. This was all python 2.7 of course.
