Do you have the winall package installed? Its a separate download
to the official Python package or comes prebundled in the
ActiveState version of Python.

Multithreading will work but for a serial port you might be easier
just to create a loop that reads/writes alternately. Just read and
write faitrly small blocks of data and it should seem to function
concurrently. If you can't do that then threads are your next best
option.

Alternatively write two programs and join them via a common UI
program using popen or subprocess...
