Hello,
When iio is loaded and a failure occurs in Python, the only feedback currently produced is a long, opaque string, and the script aborts with a generic "NULL pointer access" error. This message provides little diagnostic value.
To improve error reporting, I modified the read interface so that the last IIO error is retrieved and surfaced as a standard Python ValueError containing the original error message.
Example:
Resulting in:
ValueError: compressed scanlines not implemented yetThis provides a clearer and more informative error message for users.
