"No such device" error using pyvisa with pyvisa-py backend

I'm trying to set up pyvisa with Python backend rm=ResourceManager('@py').

When I launch rm.list_resources()

I receive the following error:

libgpib: error locking board mutex!  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>  
  File "/home/frank/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyvisa/highlevel.py", line 1560, in list_resources  
    return self.visalib.list_resources(self.session, query)  
  File "/home/frank/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyvisa-py/highlevel.py", line 231, in list_resources
    for key, st in sessions.Session.iter_valid_session_classes()], [])  
  File "/home/frank/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyvisa-py/gpib.py", line 57, in list_resources
    return ['GPIB0::%d::INSTR' % pad for pad in _find_listeners()]  
  File "/home/frank/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyvisa-py/gpib.py", line 35, in _find_listeners
    if gpib.listener(BOARD, i) and gpib.ask(BOARD, 1) != i:
gpib.GpibError: listener() error: No such device (errno: 19)

The output of my python -m visa info is:
