I'm writing a driver in Python for an old fashioned piece of serial equipment. Currently I'm using the USPP serial module. From what I can see all the serial modules seem to set the timeout when you open a serial port. This is not what I want to do. I need to change the timeout each time I do a "read" on the serial port, depending on which part of the protocol I've got to. Sometimes a return character is expected within half a second, sometimes within 2 seconds, and sometimes within 20 seconds. How do I do this in USPP, or Pyserial, or anything else? Currently I'm working in Windows, but I'd prefer a platform independent solution if possible...
