"""Generic Human Interface Device API. It is little more than a thin ctypes layer over a native hidapi implementation. The docstrings are mostly copied from the hidapi API header, with changes where necessary. The native HID API implemenation is available at https://github.com/signal11/hidapi. The native implementation comes in two flavors, hidraw (``libhidapi-hidraw.so``) and libusb (``libhidapi-libusb.so``). For this API to work, at least one of them must be in ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH``; otherwise an ImportError will be raised. Using the native hidraw implementation is recommended. Currently the native libusb implementation (temporarily) detaches the device's USB driver from the kernel, and it may cause the device to become unresponsive.
