It seems you have the wrong HID python package installed. Unfortunately there are two different implementations both using the same package name hid. This software expects python3-hid. Maybe you have python3-hidapi installed. In that case please try again with python3-hid.

I would not recommend to install python packages globally with pip, but use the Linux distribution package manager in this case. Alternatively you may create a virtual python environment and install python packages with pip to this environment.

We first need to figure out which python package is loaded. Please open a interactive python shell an execute the following code.

import hid

print(hid.__file__)

This file should belong to the python3-hidapi package. You may confirm this with dpkg -L python3-hidapi. The file should contain lines like:

hidapi = None
library_paths = (
    'libhidapi-hidraw.so',
    'libhidapi-hidraw.so.0',
    'libhidapi-libusb.so',
    'libhidapi-libusb.so.0',
    'libhidapi-iohidmanager.so',
    'libhidapi-iohidmanager.so.0',
    'libhidapi.dylib',
    'hidapi.dll',
    'libhidapi-0.dll'
)

If not, the wrong hid package is loaded.

I use virtualenv to create an isolated python+pip-modules environment for the tool:

> ~/src/radio/gpsdo
> $ ll
total 24
drwxrwxr-x 4 ??? ??? 4096 Jul 24 09:29 ./
drwxrwxr-x 5 ??? ??? 4096 Sep  3 10:27 ../

drwxrwxr-x 4 ??? ??? 4096 Jul  1  2023 lbgpsdo/
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ??? ???   78 Jul 24 09:28 lb_watch*

> $ pip list
Package Version
------- -------
hid     1.0.6
pip     24.0
(.env) > ~/src/radio/gpsdo
> $ pip freeze
hid==1.0.6

you can pin the hid module to a specific version.

works fine on Ubuntu 24.04.1:

(.env) > ~/src/radio/gpsdo
> $ lbgpsdo/lbgpsdo.py status
9FBF7EA7E6  /dev/hidraw0: SAT locked    PLL locked    Loss: 1

I have a watcher script to monitor the status:

> $ cat lb_watch 
#!/bin/bash

source .env/bin/activate

watch -d -n2 lbgpsdo/lbgpsdo.py status

I 'apt removed' both hid and hidapi, verified there was no hid module, then 'apt installed' hid: @.:~/lbgpsdo$ python3 ./lbgpsdo.py status Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/wsprdaemon/lbgpsdo/./lbgpsdo.py", line 1469, in args.func(args) File "/home/wsprdaemon/lbgpsdo/./lbgpsdo.py", line 1019, in command_status for d in GPSDODevice.openall(serial = args.serial, device = args.device): File "/home/wsprdaemon/lbgpsdo/./lbgpsdo.py", line 736, in openall yield cls(dinfo) ^^^^^^^^^^ File "/home/wsprdaemon/lbgpsdo/./lbgpsdo.py", line 766, in init self.device = hid.Device(path = dinfo['path']) ^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: module 'hid' has no attribute 'Device'.

If you uninstalled both packages in your distro, but are still getting this error message, it seems python loads a package you installed manually via pip which overrules your distribution packages. At first you have to remove the python packages globally installed via pip. There is a guideline at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11248073/how-do-i-remove-all-packages-installed-by-pip, but I didn't try it and cannot provide any warranty for data loss or system damage. Afterwards install python3-hidapi via your distro.

Using pip is only advised inside a local python environment. Installing python packages through pip bypassing your distributions package management will mess up your system sooner or later.
