  Description     : A PyVISA backend implemented in pure Python

PyVISA started as wrapper for the NI-VISA library and therefore you need to 
install
National Instruments VISA library in your system. This works most of the time,
for most people. But NI-VISA is a proprietary library that only works on certain
systems. That is when PyVISA-py jumps in.

Starting form version 1.6, PyVISA allows to use different backends. These 
backends can be
dynamically loaded. PyVISA-py is one of such backends. It implements most of 
the methods
for Message Based communication (Serial/USB/GPIB/Ethernet) using Python and 
some well developed,
easy to deploy and cross platform libraries

This package is useful in Debian since it replaces a huge proprietary library
needed in many instrumentation facilities.

I plan to maintain it as part of the Python Modules team.
