Here are some key features of "pySerial":
· Same class based interface on all supported platforms.
· Access to the port settings through Python properties.
· Support for different byte sizes, stop bits, parity and flow control with RTS/CTS and/or Xon/Xoff.
· Working with or without receive timeout.
· File like API with “read” and “write” (“readline” etc. also supported).
· The files in this package are 100% pure Python.
· The port is set up for binary transmission. No NULL byte stripping, CR-LF translation etc. (which are many times enabled for POSIX.) This makes this module universally useful.
