Rather than post a question seeking a solution, I thought I would post a recommendation.
I needed to run a simulation of a USB device today, trying to decide whether a device we are building could work with an isochronous pipe in unfavorable conditions without overflowing its FIFOs. I was just about to write my own simulation, when I wondered whether there was a Python module that could help. I came across SimPy at http://simpy.sourceforge.net. I have to say that it was a very cool experience. In under an hour, I had built a fairly accurate simulation of a USB isochronous pipe, our device's FIFO, and a webcam video stream. It was easy to add a bit of randomness to simulate poor conditions, and I got my answer in short order. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
