C:\Wattcher>python wattcher.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "wattcher.py", line 56, in <module> ser.open() File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\serial\serialwin32.py", line 56, in open raise SerialException("could not open port %s: %s" % (self.portstr, ctypes.WinError())) serial.serialutil.SerialException: could not open port COM4: [Error 5] Access is denied. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
