Yes I know about lsusb
But I'm trying to display if a iOS device is connected in a gui(tk)

lsusb | grep name_of_device
would do that.

You can use libusb1 - it has Python bindings.

Hi there, from the r/Python mods.
We have removed this post as it is not suited to the r/Python subreddit proper, however it should be very appropriate for our sister subreddit r/LearnPython. We highly encourage you to re-submit your post over on there.
The reason for the removal is that r/Python is dedicated to discussion of Python news, projects, uses and debates. It is not designed to act as Q&A or FAQ board. The regular community is not a fan of "how do I..." questions, so you will not get the best responses over here.
On r/LearnPython the community is actively expecting questions and are looking to help. You can expect far more understanding, encouraging and insightful responses over there. No matter what level of question you have, if you are looking for help with Python, you should get good answers.
If you have a question to do with homework or an assignment of any kind, please make sure to read their sidebar rules before submitting your post. If you have any questions or doubts, feel free to reply or send a modmail to us with your concerns.
Warm regards, and best of luck with your Pythoneering!

A specific OS, or does this have to work for any OS?
Unix
Mainly Linux but if possible also MacOS
