Hi,
If you attempt to set a braille display to be used with NvDA in next snapshots (particularly January 2014 snapshots), log viewer outputs the following traceback:

ERROR - braille.getDisplayList (02:22:11):
Error while importing braille display driver papenmeier
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "braille.pyc", line 316, in getDisplayList
  File "braille.pyc", line 308, in _getDisplayDriver
  File "brailleDisplayDrivers\papenmeier.pyc", line 17, in <module>
  File "ftdi2.pyc", line 56, in <module>
  File "ctypes\__init__.pyc", line 435, in __getattr__
  File "ctypes\__init__.pyc", line 365, in __init__
WindowsError: [126](Error) The specified module could not be found

Prior to this, Brailliant B/BI is reported as unavailable.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Use recent next snapshots.
  2. Go to NVDA menu, select Preferences, then go to Braille Settings.
    Expected: the list of braille displays should show up with unavailable displays being excluded, as reported in the log viewer.
    Actual: the above traceback is recorded in the log viewer.

Question: was the 1271 branch merged into next? If so, this might be the side effect of merging the work from that branch; if not, it might be something to do with ftdi2 module (as noted from the traceback).
Thanks.
