Tabs got screwed up here is teh code again :

    def __checkSerial(self):
       
        self.__objLock.acquire()
        try:
            try:
                intNoChars = self.__objSerialPort.inWaiting()
                if (intNoChars > 0):
                    strReceivedString = 
self.__objSerialPort.read(intNoChars)
                    self.newMessage(strReceivedString)
            except:
                raise   
        finally:
            self.__objLock.release()  

Cheers,

Neil
