Loop in BBmode() won't loop. about python-pybuspirate

[audiohacked]

Could you provide BP response output?

There is no output, unless I'm missing a debug mode. The part of my Python script that fails is here:

try:
    i2c = I2C('/dev/bus_pirate', 115200)
except Exception as e:
    print( "ERROR: ", e)
    sys.exit()

if not i2c.BBmode():
    print( "ERROR: Failed to enter bit-bang mode.")
    sys.exit()

The call to BBmode() returns zero and I get the message "ERROR: Failed to enter bit-bang mode."

If you look at the source code I think you will see the problem. The definition of BBmode() has a loop that is supposed to cycle up to 20 times, but the last two lines of the loop are an if-else where each branch has a return. There is no way for the loop to continue past the first try.

You SHOULD have forked it and sent a pull instead of expecting me figure out what you were talking about and try to fix it; I have a full time job in the Military and don't have anytime to really write code.

Sorry...I just got off work; it was a very busy day!
