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.
