Thanks to all who replied..
I got the PyVisa working fairly easily on a mac
I'm skeptical about how easy it will be on Ubuntu
I'd expect it to be fairly straightforward on Windows
As with all these things, the "platform dependency" comes in when you
talk to the interface hardware, and there's a fair number of packages
out there that say "platform independent" (which, being in python, they
sort of are) but which depend on a underlying interface layer which may
or may not exist (e.g. Keysight libraries for Windows only)
I'm looking into the USBTMC stuff next as a low end simpler approach
(which is what phk's pylt uses, as well as python-ivi.
