[linux-minidisc] running netmd python scripts on windows

[manner.moe@gmx.de]

Hi,
i succeeded dump_md.py and upload.py on windows.
On windows version of python there is no os.fork(), so i used subprocess 
instead to start sox.
Also, "from Crypto.Cipher import DES" and "from Crypto.Cipher import DES3" in 
libnetmd.py doesn´t work,
i used "from Crypto.Cipher import __all__" instead, which works. 

Requirements:
latest version of python-libusb1 from Vincent : http://github.com/vpelletier/python-libusb1/tree/
python2.6 (installer package): http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.6/python-2.6.6.msi
PyCrypto (installer package) : http://www.voidspace.org.uk/downloads/pycrypto-2.1.0.win32-py2.6.zip
zadig.exe  (WinUSB driver installer) : http://libusb-winusb-wip.googlecode.com/files/zadig.exe
libusb windows backend : http://libusb-winusb-wip.googlecode.com/files/libusb_2010.10.14.7z
sox : http://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/files/sox-win/14.3.1/
attached patches

To test it you can follow these steps:
- install python, PyCrypto and sox via installer package
- connect your Net MD device and start zadig.exe.
  Use "Options/List all devices", choose your Net MD device an klick "Install Driver"
- replace usb1.py and libusb1.py in netmd subdirectory with the letest python-
libusb1 versions
- copy libusb1.0.dll from libusb windows backend package to your 
windows/system32 folder (usually C:\WINDOWS\system32)
  Use the version according to your OS, MINGW32 version woks fine for me on 
Windows XP SP3. 

- open console window(cmd.exe)
- type "set PATH=C:\<sox install dir>;%PATH%" to add the path of sox.exe 
temporarely 
  (<sox install dir> means the path to your sox installation directory, 
usually C:\sox-14-3-1)
  To use it permanently you can add the path to your system variables.
- change into your linux-minidisc folder and apply the patches attached on 
these mail
- change into netmd subdir and start the scripts by their name (just type 
"dump_md.py", "upload.py", ...)
  with parameters if needed

There are some problems converting the .aea files uploaded by upload.py with 
ffmpeg (i used latest win binary),
i am not sure if it´s an error of the uploaded files or an error of ffmpeg, 
but i´m working on ;)
 
Regards,
Thomas
