Thank you for your answer. I should of course have mentioned that I initially used pyxid2 to access the device. From the resulting error message I gathered that the error occurs in module ftd2xx and hence only posted the minimally sufficient code to (possibly) reproduce the error. When I use pyxid2 with code from one of your samples provided on github I get the same error:
import pyxid2
# get a list of all attached XID devices
devices = pyxid2.get_xid_devices()
if devices:
print(devices)
else:
print("No XID devices detected")
exit()
Error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thank you in advance for any pointers!
