It seems that someone has already asked a similar question on Stack Overflow, though perhaps you should start with a simpler solution and look at more advanced ones later: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/771988/pyqt4-and-pyserial One starting point is this list of tutorials on the PyQt and PyKDE Wiki: http://www.diotavelli.net/PyQtWiki/Tutorials Later, when you want to draw graphs, you might find PyQwt useful: http://pyqwt.sourceforge.net/ You may already be aware that there's also a mailing list for PyQt and PyKDE: http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/ Another way to get answers to questions is to join the #pyqt IRC channel at freenode.net: irc://irc.freenode.net/ David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
