Re: pyserial and end-of-line specification
Thank you for your response Andre. I had tried some code like that in the document but it did not seem to work. However ever leaving my terminal for a time the code eventually wrote out the records so apparently there is some very deep buffering going on here. A little more searching on the web revealed the following: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10222788/line-buffered-serial-input It is apparent that pySerial, or at least the documentation is falling short of my needs. It is very unclear what module in the layer is handling the buffering and newlines and so forth. Also unclear is whether the coupled python and OS is reading FIFO or LIFO--something important in quasi realtime scientific applications. This is problematic since the serial port is still so ubiquitous to a lot of scientific instrumentation. I probably will patch up some byte oriented code for this or perhaps write the module in C.

Re: pyserial and end-of-line specification
Thanks Rob. Yes I ended up with a read(1) and use a field count and a few other checks to make sure I don't get a partial record. Serial is the "best of times and worst of times". Sure beats dealing with USB enumeration, power hungry ethernet processors and a lot of other stuff. I can still "see" serial on my o'scope which is always nice and I don't see it going away any time soon at least in the laboratory. Python has been a bit of a chore-seems like a lot of verison/rev inconsistencies. At any rate I am going to stick with it. I used PERL in the past but I covet the stats packages and a few other things I lost when I left matlab and I want to try for chemometrics work. cheers fritz -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Installing matplotlib on python3
I just installed matplotlib on debian and I tried to import it on python3. It cannot be found however it can be found on python 2.x. No surprise: A 'find -name matplotliib' reveals: /usr/share/matplotlib /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib I am not sure how the apt-get elected to place matplotlib in the python2.7 directory but I want to "properly" install it so it can import under python3. >There are probably commands from python3 to point its import to the 2.7 >directory, but I expect that is just a workaround and I am uneasy about >whether I have somehow installed a 2.7 compatible version only of matplotlib. >Possibly there is some recommended way to re-install matplotlib for python3 >sending it to the appropriate directories. Any advice here? thanks fritz -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Installing matplotlib on python3
Thank you Jussi. I didn't realize there was a separate version--I have it installed now cheers fritz -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
