Has anyone gotten pyparallel to work?

[Brian]

When using this:

import parallel
p = parallel.Parallel() #open LPT1
p.setData(0x55)

I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "port2.py", line 2, in ?
p = parallel.Parallel() #open LPT1
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/parallel/parallelppdev.py", line
175, in __init__
self._fd = os.open(self.device, os.O_RDWR)

OSError: [Errno 19] No such device: '/dev/parport0'

Exception exceptions.AttributeError: "Parallel instance has no attribute
'_fd'" in <bound method Parallel.__del__ of
<parallel.parallelppdev.Parallel instance at 0x403d96ac>> ignored

Yet a program I wrote in C has no problem accessing or reading bits from
LPT1. /dev/parport0 exists and is chmoded to 666. Is there some secret to
getting pyparallel to work that I'm missing (besides brains)?

Nevermind. It was easier to swig parapin and use that instead.
