Yeah, I was thinking that too. Because all parameters were pass-by-reference
in early fortran IIRC. You could, for example, set pi
thon, in this case from someone with a strong (or
rigid) Java background who is not adept with Python idioms. It has
nothing to do with OOP one way or the other. Surely we've all seen
(and doubtless written) clumsy python code; this is an example.

With such a change, the "a module can't be imported twice" would then be
true (barring hacking around in sys.modules between imports).

uot; over the net, and the server does
local-to-the-server file access to obtain the data. So all the "per
record" latency is at its end, and very small. Not to mention any
cacheing it may do.
Of course, if your requirements are very simple you might be better off
with a flat text file,
our way?

You're speaking a binary protocol, not text, so you want a one to one
mapping. Better still would be to be using a bytes I/O layer instead of
one with a text->byte translation; I do not know if the USB library
you're using offers such. So try 'iso8859-1'; at
