Hi Sameul,
<snip WINDOWPATH= python brl_test.py
PL] I ran it 3 or 4 days back. 

I have brltty installed via arch linux's package manager. 

No idea why I have 2 instances running. Let me check why that is happening. 

I can resend the logs after running the command  
WINDOWPATH= python brl_test.py

If that will help.

Ok, thanks. At what date and time did you run

WINDOWPATH= python brl_test.py

and it failed to show up?

Also, one odd thing is that you seem to have two brltty instances running at
the same time, see at 06:17:49, both 640 and 641 are saying exactly the same
at the same time, that's probably why you get so many "Device or resource
busy" errors. And that could also explain why you don't have braille output:
if your program ends up connecting to the brltty instance that didn't manage
to get access to the device, the output will go nowhere.
