Segmentation fault in WSL

while im aware that WSL has limited (or a complete lack of?) usb support I have been attempting to use pyVISA for a non USB device but am running into a segfault when pyUSB is run on WSL see this issue

Versions:

win 10 Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-19041-Microsoft x86_64) Python 3.8.10 pyusb==1.0.2

Steps to reproduce:

see above linked issue for in situ

or for minimum segfault that is likely caused by the same issue:

1: enter python shell 2: >>> import usb.core 3: >>> dev = usb.core.find() 4: segfault!

again, I understand that WSL doesn’t have proper/complete usb support but a segfault isn’t fantastic behavior when other packages that may otherwise work rely on pyUSB

afaik libusb will not work in wsl, thanks! having no segfault post PR 279 should let me fix the issues i was running into in pyvisa.
