Good to hear. > I am still confused about pyserial and serial - I found serial > in my distribution library, (on the SuSe machine, not on the > 2.5 in Slackware) but I had to download pyserial. That's very interesting. Is the pre-existing "serial" a version of pyserial that the packager had pre-installed or is it something else? I didn't know any distributions shipped Python with pyserial installed. In either case, "serial" isn't something that ships with the standard Python library. > I see that you were the the original author. Thank you for > letting this stuff loose in the wild.
