Is there an easy way to send SCSI passthrough on OSX using native python

Question

Hi All,

On Windows I am able to sent SCSI passthrough to devices using win32file.DeviceIOControl(..), on UN*X I can do it using fnctl.ioctl(...).

I have been searching for something equivalent in OSX that would allow me to send the IOCTL commands using only native python.

I would to send commands to hard drives specifically, not USB devices.

Is there anyway to do it without writing a Kernel Extension or any other code using only standard python libraries?

I saw this blog post recently talking about using SCSI passthrough under OS X. Looks like it isn't as easy as Windows or Unix
