It seems that someone has already asked a similar question on Stack
Overflow, though perhaps you should start with a simpler solution
and look at more advanced ones later:

  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/771988/pyqt4-and-pyserial

One starting point is this list of tutorials on the PyQt and PyKDE Wiki:

  http://www.diotavelli.net/PyQtWiki/Tutorials

Later, when you want to draw graphs, you might find PyQwt useful:

  http://pyqwt.sourceforge.net/

You may already be aware that there's also a mailing list for PyQt and
PyKDE:

Another way to get answers to questions is to join the #pyqt IRC channel
at freenode.net:
