History

W. Trevor King 8add63faa3 Adjust `sys.path` before importing `mmap` in `demo/python/mmap.py`. With the previous implementation, `mmap` was importing the demo script, not the standard `mmap` library module. From the docs [1]: The directory containing the script being run is placed at the beginning of the search path, ahead of the standard library path. This means that scripts in that directory will be loaded instead of modules of the same name in the library directory. I'm not sure when this changed in Python, since the demo script presumably worked with an earlier version.

README

I wrote the python scripts using Bryan Cole's comedi wrappers.  I
followed the instructions provided by him to generate the comedi
python module.

I then produced the three following scripts:

info.py:

	This script emulates the comedilib/demo/info program

cmd.py:

	This script emulates the comedilib/demo/cmd program

mmap.py:

	This script emulates the comedilib/demo/mmap program with the
	added twist that the output is saved to a binary log file.
	This file can be accessed using a variety of means including a
	sample octave script <stream_readme3.m> which is provided.

As usual, comments are always welcome.
