Looks like we are close. But the error codes are persistent. I can not copy/paste but serial does not load. Whatever I place in the first line of the python file. I tried: #!/bin/env/python and other shebangs (I learn!) but the error remains exactly the same. Btw: I use python2.x Any clue what to try next please? Cheers, Harke
