Hi All,
I am trying to use python& pyserial on Ubuntu 9.10 to communicate with
a serial device. I need to be able to set the parity bit Mark/Space for
this particular device. I understand linux/posix compliant OSs don't
natively support this. I googled and found this
[http://www.lothosoft.ch/thomas/libmip/markspaceparity.php] link and
implemented that in my code. With this I am able to send only one byte
with my desired parity and the port somehow goes back to 'No parity'
after one byte.
Umm, a quick glance at that pyserial documentation tells me that the
parity mode setting can be done using the module constants:
http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/pyserial_api.html#constants
is this how you are setting the parity bit ?
I am assuming that pyserial should do the RIGHT THING(tm) irrespective
of the OS, which might not be true if instead you are twiddling around
using the termios module (as suggested in the link you posted).

Steve,
Thanks for a quick reply.
pyserial senses the OS and acts accordingly. When I set serial.parity =
serial.PARITY_MARK, it works in Windows, but in Ubuntu it throws an
error 'Invalid parity "M"' (line no 380 in serialposix.py). Patched it
with code in the above link and now Mark parity is set but for only one
byte. It appears to be more of posix issue than python issue.
Any more suggestions please (from any other enlightened souls)
Thanks in advance
Ganesh
PS: I am not getting a copy of mails sent by me back from the list. I
have already set the relevent option in the mailman
