I wish to test something involving a serial port before going in to full development, hence the Python usage and hence "serial.py" seemed a fairly logical name based on what I was trying to do. Thanks for the explanation of why I shouldn't have done that. I have now renamed it to "my_test.py" and am now getting somewhere. No errors at least. I was sure it was something basic and obvious (to a Python developer) and I was right. I'll remember that one for sure. Thanks also to Robert for giving me the same advice. /MB
