Python 64 bit installation

[Xiaofan Chen]

Hi, I am trying to install libftdi for 64-bit Python on 64-bit Windows.
None of the packages on picusb actually work; when I try to install them by
Am I installing this wrong? It seems as though ftdi1.py is finding something
wrong with running _ftdi1.pyd.

I have not updated the binary download for a while since it is now
easy to build libftdi under MSYS2.

The downloads are outdated and it is better you build libftdi by
yourself to suit
your needs -- eg, 64bit Python bindings which is usable by your Python version.
MSYS2: https://www.msys2.org/

BTW, if you use Python 3.x, maybe you want to try out pyftdi which may
be easier to use. It can be easily install using pip. It is based on
pyusb/libusb
and not libftdi though.

Thanks for the reply! libftdi was actually a dependency for another library I
needed, so I decided to just use 32-bit Python 2.7. It worked seamlessly.

That is good as well.

If you use MSYS2, it does have libftdi 1.4 binary for 32bit/64bit MinGW-w64,
including Python bindings (seems to be only for Python 3.6).

Ref: https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-libftdi/PKGBUILD

It does not build examples and documentations, other than that, it
seems to be pretty complete.
