[Tutor] PyVISA

[Mark R Rivet]

Well I tried the setup file and here is what I get:

 

C:\Users\Rivetmr\PyVisa_1.3\PyVISA-1.3>Python setup.py install

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "setup.py", line 60, in <module>

    home_dir = os.environ['HOME']

  File "C:\Python27\Lib\os.py", line 423, in __getitem__

    return self.data[key.upper()]

KeyError: 'HOME'

Hi

Have you installed the module after unzipping it?

python setup.py install

Got it from the README file in the downloaded tar.

I have unpacked the PyVISA files into the Python/lib/site-packages dir
and from the IDLE GUI I get and error

import visa

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<pyshell#25>", line 1, in <module>
   import visa
ImportError: No module named visa



There must be more to just putting the files in the correct directory.
Need help configuring PyVISA to work.
My ultimate goal is to control electronic instruments with Python
through visa.
