Dear Richard,

You might get a better response from the main newsgroup at
comp.lang.python.  Edu-sig is many focused on K-12 education issues, so
most of us don't touch the serial port too much.


If you're using the serial port on Windows, try:

There are a few more modules listed under the Vaults of Parnassus:

which might help you get started.


Good luck!
