My personal use of the GPIB driver so far is mostly with Python -
except the GPIB stuff itself is buried in a C++ extension module. I
do have the expertise to write a python extension module to do lower
level GPIB operations, though. I would rather work on the driver
itself for now, but I would be willing to take this on sometime in the
future. The Linux folks have a TCL module/C library that emulates
National's library as closely as possible. I could do something like
that, except that it would definitely be Python instead.
