Now you need to install this filter from here.
If not, you can get errors like this: raise NoBackendError('No backend available')
usb.core.NoBackendError: No backend available
Let's make a simple test example:

import usb.core
import usb.util
import sys

class find_class(object):
    def __init__(self, class_):
        self._class = class_
    def __call__(self, device):
        # first, let's check the device
        if device.bDeviceClass == self._class:
            return True
        # ok, transverse all devices to find an
        # interface that matches our class
        for cfg in device:
            # find_descriptor: what's it?
            intf = usb.util.find_descriptor(
                                        cfg,
                                        bInterfaceClass=self._class
                                )
            if intf is not None:
                return True

        return False

all = usb.core.find(find_all=1, custom_match=find_class(7))
print (all)

And show the result:

Python 2.7 : Python geocoding without key.

Today I will come with a simple example about geocoding.
I used JSON and requests python modules and python version 2.7.
About geocoding I use this service provide by datasciencetoolkit.
You can use this service free and you don't need to register to get a key.
Let's see the python script:

import requests
import json

url = u'http://www.datasciencetoolkit.org/maps/api/geocode/json'
par = {
    u'sensor': False,
    u'address': u'London'
}

my = requests.get(
    url,
    par
)
json_out = json.loads(my.text)

if json_out['status'] == 'OK':
    print([r['geometry']['location'] for r in json_out['results']])

I run this script and I test with google map to see if this works well.
This is output and working well with the geocoding service:

Python 3.6.4 : Test Django version 2.1.1 on Windows O.S.

I used the python version 3.6.4 to test the last Django framework version.
Add your python to the path environment variable under Windows O.S.
Create your working folder:

C:\Python364>mkdir mywebsite

Go to the folder to install all you need:

C:\Python364>cd mywebsite

Use a virtual environment using the virtualenv command:

C:\Python364\mywebsite>python -m venv myvenv
C:\Python364\mywebsite>myvenv\Scripts\activate
(myvenv) C:\Python364\mywebsite>python -m pip install --upgrade pip
(myvenv) C:\Python364\mywebsite>pip3.6 install django
Collecting django
...

If you try to run again this command you will see the version of Django:

(myvenv) C:\Python364\mywebsite>pip3.6 install django
Requirement already satisfied: django in c:\python364\mywebsite\myvenv\lib\
site-packages (2.1.1)
Requirement already satisfied: pytz in c:\python364\mywebsite\myvenv\lib\

You need to run the django-admin command:

(myvenv) C:\Python364\mywebsite>cd myvenv
(myvenv) C:\Python364\mywebsite\myvenv>cd Scripts
(myvenv) C:\Python364\mywebsite\myvenv\Scripts>django-admin.exe startproject mysite

(myvenv) C:\Python364\mywebsite\myvenv\Scripts>cd mysite
(myvenv) C:\Python364\mywebsite\myvenv\Scripts\mysite&

Make a change to settings file:

(myvenv) C:\Python364\mywebsite\myvenv\Scripts\mysite>cd mysite
(myvenv) C:\Python364\mywebsite\myvenv\Scripts\mysite\mysite>notepad settings.py

Change UTC timezone:

TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/Paris'

Change host:

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['192.168.0.185','mysite.com']

The next step is to use these commands:

(myvenv) C:\Python364\mywebsite\myvenv\Scripts\mysite\mysite>cd ..
(myvenv) C:\Python364\mywebsite\myvenv\Scripts\mysite>python manage.py migrate

Python 3.6.4 : Microsoft Azure - bad answer .

The Azure from Microsoft comes with the free account and $200 credit to explore services for 30 days.
I only have 7 days left from this free account.
During this time I tried to use it from scratch.
In this short tutorial, I will talk about this period,
First I used the python version 3.6.4 and the Azure development tools.
These are the links I follow:

• start with the free account
• read the example from azure
• my old post about azure and python

I install the azure for python with :

C:\Python364\Scripts>pip install azure

You can use a preview version of this package, which you can access using the --pre flag:

C:\Python364\Scripts>pip install --pre azure

I used the example from azure:

git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/storage-blobs-python-quickstart.git

Into azure account, I create a storage account named pythonazure.

You can configure the Access control (IAM) to use with your account.
This storage account needs to use keys, see Access keys area.
They tell us about this feature:
Use access keys to authenticate your applications when making requests to this Azure storage account. Store your access keys securely - for example, using Azure Key Vault - and don't share them. We recommend regenerating your access keys regularly. You are provided two access keys so that you can maintain connections using one key while regenerating the other.
I change the account name with pythonazure and account_key with my account key.
The result is this:

In view of my previous experiences with Google, Firebase and Azure on the ease of assimilation and understanding of the content and the time allocated to making a simple task according to the Azure documentation, then azure get the last place.
In azure services, we can see the errors that occur and which are non-existent on google or firebase.

I was interested in ease and fast access to python cloud services. However, you can read this point of view written by google here.

Python 3.6.4 : Trying to use the python azurure on the windows.

In this tutorial, I used the python version 3.6.4 and Windows 8.1 OS.
You can start with pip install tool for some azure modules:
Install the latest Batch runtime library

C:\Python364\Scripts>pip install azure-batch 

This will install the latest Storage management library

C:\Python364\Scripts>pip install azure-mgmt-scheduler 

Will install only the latest compute installed using the --pre flag:

C:\Python364\Scripts>pip install --pre azure-mgmt-compute 

Finally the storage I used into this tutorial:

C:\Python364\Scripts>pip install azure-storage --upgrade

You can install all of the azure python modules:

C:\Python364\Scripts>pip install --pre azure

I tested with all azure python modules, but you can use just you need.
The next step is to open the Azure account - I have a trial free account.
I create a Resource Group named python-azure and a Storage account named pythonazure.
Into pythonazure I add the Files service and I upload an HTML file named default.html .
See the next images with the steps I make:
Let's make one simple test:

I have not been able to authenticate myself with a python script in Azure.
I found some inconsistencies and issues on GitHub so I still have to document.

Any help in this regard is welcome.

Python 3.6.4 : Using python client with blogger API .

I used a new project into console cloud google.
I used the google-api-python-client from here with OAuth service.
You need to create a project and add the blogger API to use it.
For credentials, I used OAuth with the JSON file from google.
This is the source code:

This is the test python script I used to test this python module:

import qrcode
from  qrcode import *
qr = qrcode.QRCode(
    version=1,
    error_correction=qrcode.constants.ERROR_CORRECT_L,
    box_size=10,
    border=4,
)
qr.add_data('https://python-catalin.blogspot.com/')
qr.make(fit=True)

img = qr.make_image(fill_color="black", back_color="white")
with open('my_qr_test.png', 'wb') as qrfile:
    img.save(qrfile)

This is the output of QR file:

Blender 3D and Roblox with Python .

I spend my free time with my son playing Roblox and in the meantime, I try to introduce him to the world of computers.
However, you can download the player as a 3D object and use it as an avatar.
Here's an issue: The 3D object is hard to set with origins for animation but python and Blender 3D can easily solve this.
You can use BMesh.
As you know:
BMesh is the new Blender mesh system in 2.63, with full support for N-sided polygons instead of only triangles and quads.
The result of this download 3D object has a bad origin:

Let's see the source code:

import bpy
import bmesh
import mathutils 
from mathutils import Vector

context = bpy.context

def origin_to_bottom(obj):
    matrix_world = obj.matrix_world
    local_verts = [Vector(v[:]) for v in obj.bound_box]
    blender_mesh = blender_meshesh.new()
    blender_mesh.from_mesh(obj.data)
    x, y, z = 0, 0, 0
    l = len(local_verts)
    z = min([v.z for v in local_verts])
    local_origin = Vector((0, 0, 0))
    global_origin = matrix_world * local_origin
    for v in blender_mesh.verts:
        v.coord = v.coord - local_origin
    blender_mesh.to_mesh(obj.data)
    matrix_world.translation = global_origin

mesh_objs = [mesh_object for mesh_object in context.selected_objects if mesh_object.type == 'MESH']
bpy.ops.object.origin_set(type='ORIGIN_GEOMETRY')

for my_objects in mesh_objs:
    origin_to_bottom(my_objects)

The result is this:

Python 3.6.4 : Testing OpenCV default Hough Line Transform.

This tutorial is about Hough Line Transform and OpenCV python module.
This can be a good example for Hough Line Transform.
See the source code:

import cv2
import numpy as np
img = cv2.imread('test_lines.jpg')
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

# filter black and gray pixels
thresh = cv2.threshold(gray, 100, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV)[1]

# find lines
lines = cv2.HoughLinesP(thresh, 1, np.pi/180,360,18)

# output lines onto image
for line in lines:
    x1,y1,x2,y2 = line[0]
    cv2.line(img,(x1,y1),(x2,y2),(255,255,0),2)

# show image
cv2.imshow('threshold houghlines', img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

This is the result for test_lines.jpg .

You can test by make changes into this line of code:

lines = cv2.HoughLinesP(thresh, 1, np.pi/180,360,18)

According to documentation, the changes are influenced by the range parameters.

The error has an open issue.
It does not seem to work properly.
There are some open issues for this python module.
The examples on the internet are not very concise with how to use this python module.
