            Bug ID: 278086
           Summary: comms/py-hid missing library path in __init__.py
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

py-hid will fail due to not finding libhidapi.so.  The "library_paths" variable
in the installed __init__.py located at
/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/hid does not have a path for any
suitable library for it to use.

I have successfully patched it by adding 'libhidapi.so' to the list of
library_paths.  FreeBSD uses libhidapi.so and not any of the other library
paths listed in __init__.py.

I don't have a formal diff, but adding libhidapi.so fixes the problem and
py-hid works correctly for my test case.  It completely failed before.  I'm
hoping the maintainer can put in the proper patch.
