also found in ``tools/helloworld.py``

.. code:: python

  #!/usr/bin/env python

  from trezorlib.client import TrezorClient
  from trezorlib.transport_hid import HidTransport

  def main():
      # List all connected TREZORs on USB
      devices = HidTransport.enumerate()

      # Check whether we found any
      if len(devices) == 0:
          print('No TREZOR found')
          return

      # Use first connected device
      transport = HidTransport(devices[0])

      # Creates object for manipulating TREZOR
      client = TrezorClient(transport)

      # Print out TREZOR's features and settings
      print(client.features)

      # Get the first address of first BIP44 account
      # (should be the same address as shown in wallet.trezor.io)
      bip32_path = client.expand_path("44'/0'/0'/0/0")
      address = client.get_address('Bitcoin', bip32_path)
      print('Bitcoin address:', address)

      client.close()

  if __name__ == '__main__':
      main()
