Applied. I hadn't thought of that corner case.

Excellent.

I added this as test_hidwrap.py. When I fix my SWIG setup, I will  
merge in Martin's code fragment from test_libhid.py that looks for  
the local _hid.so (so that you don't have to do a 'make install' to  
test against the latest code).

Thanks for your contribution!
