ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 1: <type 'exceptions.OverflowError'>: long int too long to convert

[zamora18]

Hello,
I am using a Symbol LS2208 barcode scanner and trying to read the data from it using python. I downloaded your package, and attempted to use your script to connect to it but I ran into this error:
ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 1: <type 'exceptions.OverflowError'>: long int too long to convert

For reference, here is the entire Traceback to the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/PycharmProjects/practice_project/LS2208-USB-Barcode-Scanner-master/test.py", line 6, in <module>
    scanners = get_scanners()
  File "C:\Users\PycharmProjects\practice_project\LS2208-USB-Barcode-Scanner-master\scanner.py", line 53, in get_scanners
    targets = HID.OpenDevices(VENDORID,PRODUCTID)
  File "C:\Users\PycharmProjects\practice_project\LS2208-USB-Barcode-Scanner-master\HID.py", line 162, in OpenDevices
    temp = HIDDevice(handle)
  File "C:\Users\PycharmProjects\practice_project\LS2208-USB-Barcode-Scanner-master\HID.py", line 191, in __init__
    self.connect()
  File "C:\Users\PycharmProjects\practice_project\LS2208-USB-Barcode-Scanner-master\HID.py", line 202, in connect
    hid.HidD_GetAttributes(self.handle,byref(attrib))
ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 1: <type 'exceptions.OverflowError'>: long int too long to convert

I know this package is old and only tested in python 2.5. I am using 2.7 (on Windows 10) and perhaps this is a compatibility issue? When looping through every HID device it can't get past the first one because of this issue.

I would really appreciate any help, thank you.
