Thanks for the response. I have gone through a lot of the tutorials. All of them(that I saw) seem to just deal will event-based applications ie calculator, image viewer, etc. How do I run pyserial in the background and pass the information to PyQT and refresh the screen? Is there a way to have pyserial run in another thread and pass the information to the UI? Thanks, Seth -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
