How to install pyparallel

[Michel LE VAN KIEM]

Hi everybody !

I'm trying to install the pyparallel module for my Python 2.3.4 (runs on
a FC3) but I do have some troubles.

When I import the parallel module, python shows the following message :

import parallel /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/parallel/parallelppdev.p y:32:
FutureWarning: x<<y losing bits or changing sign will return a long in
Python 2.4 and up IOC_INPUT = (IOC_WRITE | _IOC_READ) << _IOC_DIRSHIFT
....
p=parallel.Para llel()

ppdev0: failed to register device !
....
IOError: [No such device or address]

Some help would be appreciated.

Did you read the notes in the parallelppydev. py file's
Parallel class? I suspect they may be of some help...

(I don't see any other significant documentation of
pyParallel, so I'm not sure where else one would look
for assistance.)

Also, perhaps one of these threads would be of help:

The ppdev module is loaded and the lp module is unloaded, but I still
have the error message. I used 'lsmod | grep ppdev' to check it.

Is it necessary to plug the parallel cable ?
