I've never used it, but "pyserial" is actually "serial": http://pyserial.sourceforge.net I have it installed on my system via Christoph Gohlke's "Base" distribution. AFAIK, it's not in the standard install of Python 2.7. > However lots of scripts > "import serial" > and then > "ser.readline(size=None, eol=chr(13))" That's odd that it says keywords aren't supported. The method signature is def readline(self, size=None, eol=LF): This is from the FileLike class in serialutil.py, line 141 here: http://pyserial.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pyserial/trunk/pyserial/serial/serialutil.py?revision=398&view=markup Are you sure you're not using an actual 'file' object? The latter's readline method takes a size argument, but as a regular positional argument. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
