Hi,
I'm developing an application to talk to a device over a serial port.
I'm trying my hardest to keep it cross platform, so I was using
pySerial for the serial communications. But I can't see a pythonic,
cross-platform way to enumerate serial ports on a machine.
As with many other such issues, instant cross-platformability
is likely to be rare. I admin I haven't looked at pySerial
but I imagine that, behind the scenes, it's doing some sort
of conditional imports according to platform. I imagine you'd
have to do something similar to get a list of port names.
On Windows, WMI can give you what you want. Look at the
Win32_SerialPort class. Hopefully, someone else can help
for other platforms.
