[sane-devel] Epson Perfection V10/V100

[Ulf Renman]

I cant find my scanner with python and would really like some help getting
this working.

Im running Ubuntu 8.10.
ulf at hovermo:~(0)$ uname -a
Linux hovermo 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686
GNU/Linux

My scanner is a Epson Perfection V100 Photo. I have no problems using xsane
or scanimage.
ulf at hovermo:~(0)$ scanimage -L
device `epkowa:libusb:001:012' is a Epson Perfection V10/V100 flatbed
scanner

But when I try to access the scanner through python no device could be found
with get_devices or accessed directly with devicename.
ulf at hovermo:~(0)$ python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Oct  5 2008, 19:24:49)
[GCC 4.3.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sane
>>> sane.get_devices()
[]
>>> sane.open('epkowa:libusb:001:012')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sane.py", line 288, in open
    new=SaneDev(devname)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sane.py", line 143, in __init__
    d['sane_signature'] = self._getSaneSignature(devname)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sane.py", line 151, in
_getSaneSignature
    raise RuntimeError('no scanner available')
RuntimeError: no scanner available
>>>

Any solutions?

Thanks
