Hallöchen! At http://pyvisa.sourceforge.net you can find information about the PyVISA package. It realises Python bindings for the VISA library functions, which enables you to control measurement devices via Python.
Yesterday I released version 0.9. I tried to provide it with good documentation. It works very nicely with the GPIB in our lab, however, I haven't yet received feedback from others, so I leave it in beta status and with a version number < 1.
