[PYTHONMAC-SIG] Serial I/O from python?

Yes, with the ctb module. It is even documented (in the standard Python 
documentation in the mac section). There is however quite a serious memory 
leak in the 1.4 version. It is fixed in 1.5, but if you can't wait until then 
and have CodeWarrior I can send the fixed source.

Seriously: there is a module to do sreial I/O under PythonWin using some 
(shareware?) dll. Search DejaNews for the details.
