:-) I have downloaded and had a quick look, and I see it is based on the standard library's serial.Serial class - another battery that I have not used before. And I see that serial.Serial looks like it uses os. calls, which is one of the things Greg mentioned. Curioser and Curioser. There was one thing I saw in a quick read of pyserial that I did not like as I cannot understand why it is done - if a timeout is set to less than a tenth of a second, then it is changed to be a tenth. - In a polling protocol that will limit you to poll only ten terminals a second, or less, and is a very long time if a message takes only a couple of millis to send. I am getting there - this time around I want to kill this problem dead because I seem to keep doing something wrong somewhere and I want to understand what it is and stop doing it. - Hendrik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
