Hi!
In our project, we accumulate data from various sources. Some of them are connected via serial line (e.g. a GPS receiver and a weather station).
I'd like to run the application with twistd. But it looks as if SerialPort does not really fit into this framework. It does not implement IService, so `my_serial_port.setServiceParent(collection)` does not work.
Is there any technical reason that SerialPort does not implement IService? Could you suggest a workaround for this problem (other than dumping t.a.s.Application ;-))?
One way to do this, is using t.a.i.GenericClient to hook up the device to the protocol. This is also a Service that can be hooked up to an Application. Unfortunately, it uses the now deprecated connectWith method on a reactor, and therefore GenericClient has been deprecated as well. exarkun suggested a new FileDescriptorClient that might use the reactor's addReader and addWriter methods. -- ralphm
