What hardware drivers are written in Python? I would assume they’re bindings to drivers with a C interface.

Take a look at micropython, some drivers are writing in pure python, I’ve written a display driver previously

I assumed those were for hobbyists. I would be surprised if that was used in a major product given how many cycles you lose to python implementation.

Yeah you’re totally right. Nonetheless the use case has it’s place. People buy and use hobbyist hardware, and this is a market on its own.

I should have been more specific. Yes, it is a wrapper around a closed source blob.
