Python Windows/Linux/Mac CAN driver based on usbfs or WinUSB WCID for Geschwister Schneider USB/CAN devices, candleLight USB CAN interfaces, CAN Debugger devices and other interfaces utilising the gs_usb driver.
Install by pip install gs_usb
Below is a basic demo for CAN message sending and receiving.
