Error listing the devices

[dalonsoa]

Hi,

I installed the precompiled seabreeze Windows 7 library from here:

https://github.com/ap--/libseabreeze/releases

and the precompileled windows wheel from here:

https://github.com/ap--/python-seabreeze/releases

Everything installs fine and the hardware seems to be configured correctly by Windows. However, when I try to list the devices connected this is what I get:

import seabreeze.spectrometers as sb
devices = sb.list_devices()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-2-722e25f61c75> in <module>()
      1 import seabreeze.spectrometers as sb
----> 2 devices = sb.list_devices()

seabreeze\cseabreeze\wrapper.pyx in seabreeze.cseabreeze.wrapper.device_list_devices     (./seabreeze/cseabreeze/wrapper.c:3035)()

seabreeze\cseabreeze\wrapper.pyx in seabreeze.cseabreeze.wrapper.device_get_serial_number   (./seabreeze/cseabreeze/wrapper.c:4002)()

TypeError: Type str doesn't support the buffer API

I have no idea what this means. I am using Windows 7 (32 bits) with Python 3.4.

Best wishes,
Diego

Hmmm, I can't reproduce this with Python3.4 under Linux.
Working on it.

It'll take a while until the new wheels are available because some appveyor updates broke things ... Just check back every now and then.

Perfect! It seems that with the newer version of the wheel it works! Thanks!
