First off, you’re using a very old version of pyvisa on an old and unsupported version of python.

Next, have you checked if the instrument shows up when you list instruments? You’re running from root so device permissions shouldn’t be a problem.

commented

Yes, this is the list_resource

import visa
rm = visa.ResourceManager("@py")
rm.list_resources()
(u'ASRL/dev/ttyUSB0::INSTR',)

commented

I’d suggest switching to a modern version of python & pyvisa, and trying again with pyvisa.log_to_console() for additional information.

commented

Gimme some minutes to install python3 and add the pkgs

Now i tried with python3

First, I suggest you confirm the serial configuration you use (baud rate, parity and data bits) from the manual the defaults should match pyvisa defaults but it is better to check. Second, the manual state on page 131:

It is very important that you send the SYST:REM command to place the power
supply in the remote mode. Sending or receiving data over the RS-232 interface
when not configured for remote operation can cause unpredictable results

Does sending this command first or manually setting the device in remote mode helps ?

commented

I already config the PSU to use in remote mode
baudrate 9600
8 databit
None parity
