Didn't I just answer that question? On Linux: no. There have been a couple projects that attempted to allow drivers to be written in user-space. http://www.circlemud.org/~jelson/software/fusd/ http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/IA64wiki/UserLevelDrivers However, AFAICT, both of these projects are defunct and neither provided an interface to the TTY layer. Without a tty-layer interface, you would have to duplicate the entire tty layer in your user-space driver driver as well. > (Like you can use FUSE to implement filesystems in python.) -- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
