The nidaqmx-python/README.rst says that "nidaqmx supports only the Windows operating system". However, loading of the C library in linux seem to be supported in nidaqmx-python/nidaqmx/_lib.py.

Even if Linux support is experimental or in-official, perhaps it could still be mentioned in the README?

We did nothing to prevent Linux from working, but we have not done extensive testing and can't provide assurances it will work. Feel free to try it out.

I understand, but if there is no mentioning of Linux support there will probably be no Linux related contributions/testing/fixes either...
I discovered it by accident and was actually looking for alternatives that would work on Linux.

That's fair. I'll see about adding something to the README.
