Hi!! I have to write a little python program to manage a serial port radio modem. I have to send some AT commands and read resposes. This is not a problem, twisted examples are enough. ...but I have a situation that makes things complicated: Anytime the modem can send back to serial port a line starting with "++"... I have to catch it and do some analysis that could take a long time. How to solve???????????????? I have found only this manner: - a thread continuously read from serial port. - if it receive a line stanting with "++" put it in a queue (I could name it "unexpected-queue") - this thread also check for commands on another queue (commands-queue) - if there are something on command-queue it send command to serial port an put replies on another queue (replies-queue) - Another thread loop to check unexpected-queue and do something if there are messages. - main program sent commands to command-queue and read replies from replies-queue Does anyone have better ideas or suggestions?
