используя FTDI232H с Ubuntu Mate с pyftdi

Question

Я пытаюсь использовать чип FTDI232H с ОС Ubuntu Mate (Описание: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS).

Я пытаюсь выполнить инструкции от: https://github.com/eblot/pyftdi/blob/master/pyftdi/doc/installation.rst#id1 и https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-on-any-computer-with-ft232h/troubleshooting

Когда я запускаю проверку работоспособности после установки, я выхожу с ошибкой:

user@mate-desktop:~$ python3

>>> from pyftdi.ftdi import Ftdi

    for scls in cls.__subclasses__():
TypeError: descriptor '__subclasses__' of 'type' object needs an argument

Может ли кто-нибудь помочь мне, как исправить эту ошибку?
