[portland] Help For pySerial in XP

[Ron Jackson]

Hey Larry,

I've used PySerial on XP. It installed OK for me. You need to have 
PyWin32 installed for it to work. http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/

I've also used USPP, which I found to be an easier to understand 
implementation than PySerial. It also requires pywin32. Check out: 
http://ibarona.googlepages.com/uspp

I am actually using USB hardware, which enumerates as a CDC device. I 
didn't need the legacy serial support features in both packages. So I 
ended up creating my own USB-specific library and directly calling the 
Win32File functions for read and write. USPP was very helpful for that.

I'm planning on being at the meeting tonight also.
