If you're on Windows, they have a win32 executable installer available on SourceForge. Otherwise you can just easy_install the egg. http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyvisa/files/PyVISA/1.3/ You'll also need a VISA library (.dll or .so file) for your GPIB adapter. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
