usbtmc AssertionError

I'm getting the following issue running on macOS 10.14.4 with Python 3.7 on a Rigol DS1054Z

assert msgid == MsgID.dev_dep_msg_in
AssertionErrorWhen I inspect this msgid is 65 and the data is:
b'Author\x00RIGOL\xe7\x88\x8c\xc9\x00\x00\x00\x11tEXtSource\x00DSZ series?Z\x1d\x97\x00\x00\x00)tEXtDescription'Same problem happening here for me. Scope is DS1054Z with software version 00.04.04.SP3; Mac is on Mojave 10.14.6. Happy to help troubleshoot if I can.
@Cabalist and @jgarbers : I've made some changes that may or may not fix the AssertionError. In particular, I've switched from the visa package to the pyvisa package.
So please pull the latest master version and type the following in a shell. Let me know what happens:
$ git fetch
$ pipenv shell
$ pyvisa-info
$ python rigol_grab.py -v -a
Thanks @rdpoor for the fix, but unfortunately I can't report success here... the script reports "
Could not find Rigol. Check USB?...quitting" when run per your instructions.
Checking the logic in your rigol method that resulted in this error, it looks like my device isn't providing a name that includes the VID_PID substring you expect. I modified the script to display the names that it does find, and my DS1045Z reports this:
USB0::6833::1230::DS1ZA193816892::0::INSTR
I confirmed that name is indeed coming from the scope by unplugging it, in which case the script does not find any names at all.
If I disable the name check in your code and just press ahead with the first and only name found, the script does end up failing with the same AssertionError originally reported by @Cabalist.
Hope this is helpful and please let me know if there's anything else I can try on this end. Thanks for your time and effort!
Here is the pyvisa-info output:

I don't know what's going on down in the depths of PyVISA, but as a bit of additional debugging information, I added a line to the from_bytes method to show the received message that failed the assertion. In this case, the failed message is
Author\x00RIGOL\xe7\x88\x8c\xc9\x00\x00\x00\x11tEXtSource\x00DSZ series?Z\x1d\x97\x00\x00\x00)tEXtDescription
which looks like a sort of "get info" response. If I'm reading it right, the code is expecting to unpack a 0x02 byte (dev_dep_msg_in) from the message, and getting the 'A' (0x41) from 'Author' instead.
Again I have no idea what the protocol is here but thought this might provide a clue. Thanks!
Good sleuthing -- thanks for the info. One thing that's odd is that your VID-PID string is in decimal -- I've always seen it in hex, so naturally my simple minded find method fails.
As for the assertion error, no clue (yet). It may be worth noting that I have a slightly newer clang and slightly older ni library. I'll see if I can figure out how to upgrade my ni library and see what changes. And I'll try adding the from_bytes to see how mine differs.
