Folks,
I have posted a new CircuitPython library for the TCA9544A i2c bus multiplexer, based on the existing TCA9548A library, which I am offering to Adafruit if you want it. Please see this link:
https://github.com/rivimey/Adafruit_Cir ... n_TCA9544A
The differences are not major, and it may be more sensible to modify the 9548A library than add a new one. However, doing so would have an impact on the existing code and it seemed best to avoid that.

Re: New driver for circuitpython offered
Is your version based on a fork of the original repo? If so, there are some instructions for submitting it here:

Re: New driver for circuitpython offered
While my library is based on an existing Adafruit library, it is currently structured as a completely new and independent library, and so the instructions re forking and pull requests don't apply: I am not modifying the original but making a new thing.

Re: New driver for circuitpython offered
Thank you for the clarification.
You could open an issue (request) on the Adafruit CircuitPython TCA9548A github repo letting them know you have a working port to the TCA9544A. Since Adafruit does not sell the 9544A interest might be limited, but good to let them know the code is available for future use.
