PyDAQmx 1.4.2 doesn't install correctly on Python 2.7
I've just tried installing PyDAQmx on Python 2.7.16 (a new conda 2.7 environment) using pip and it is not installing correctly (on Windows 10 anyway).
It seems to be installing into site-packages/pydaqmx rather than site-package/PyDAQmx. This means that code using PyDAQmx obviously breaks as you can't import PyDAQmx. I tried import pydaqmx but this throws an Exception because it can't import Task.
PyDAQmx==1.4.1 works correctly, so hopefully it is easy to work out what caused this change!
How did you installed PyDAQmx ?
The pydaqmx is the PEP8 compliant version PyDAQmx which is in the dev2 branch (and supposed to be released as version 2.xx).
Installed using pip. Possibly the .whl on PyPi for Python 2.7 was built using the wrong branch?
I looked into this a bit further and it seems v1.4.2 is the first release that I can see which includes a .whl on PyPi for Python v2 (see https://pypi.org/project/PyDAQmx/1.4.2/#files )
If you download the .whl and open it, it appears to contain a weird mixture of files/folders from both the master and dev2 branch. No idea how that happened.
Given that this is the first time a .whl has been uploaded to PyPi, I presume if you just delete it then it will build from the .tar.gz source (by running setup.py) on Python 2.7 like before, and everything will be fine.
