importing downloaded usb module

[kiyoshi7]

Hi, I downloaded pywinusb from GitHub, but I can't remember how to import it. I unzipped it to a folder with a file I'm using to test my modifications. how can I import the downloaded module? I have pywinusb installed via pip but, I cant find the files I want to alter.

Also, I'm trying to communicate to a usb device I created, is there another usb module? preferable one that I don't have to install drivers since I'm using HID just because I don't need to create a diver and it's easier for users

How do you mean you have downloaded and unzipped pywinusb, but also installed it by pip?
import pywinusb should work. Do you get some errors? If yes, post the full traceback in error tags.

I have pywin usb installed but I want to alter it so I downloaded it and want to make my modifications. I only downloaded it cause I cant find where pip placed the module

That would be in \Lib\site-packages location of your Python installation, or virtual environment, in case you are using it.

I tried looking for it there, and searching for pywinusb. the module works I just cant find it

edit: I found it, I think that because I have more than one version of python windows 10 didn't install the version I'm working on in C:python, but in Appdata

Thanks for helping

It will be in \Lib\site-packages\pywinusb\hid
Virtual environment is now build into 3.6.

So now is all in usb_env folder.

Clone source code to this folder.

(usb_env) E:\1\usb_env
λ git clone https://github.com/rene-aguirre/pywinusb.git

So now is also source code in own pywinusb folder.
I also install ptpython then is easier to find modules/methods when type . it show all available.

(usb_env) E:\1\usb_env
λ ptpython
>>> import pywinusb.hid as hid

>>> hid.__file__
'e:\\1\\usb_env\\lib\\site-packages\\pywinusb\\hid\\__init__.py'
