Python is a batteries included distribution.

PySerial and PySerial-AsyncIO  are packages in PyPI, not in the distibution,
and sometime packaged in OS package repositories..

Thanks for this library. The announcement is at the right time 
as I want to write a smart home application to control my 
shutters. The application will run on a raspberry pi (ftdi sub 
stick).



So, now we'll be able to hack your shutters? ;)

Do you thought about including your library into phobos? A std 
library really should contain this functionality.


Really? If the consensus is that it should go in, then okay, 
but I don't think that I've ever seen a standard library with 
anything like functionality for talking to serial ports. And 
what would having it be in Phobos buy you over just grabbing it 
from code.dlang.org?

Hopefully not:)

For me it is just a convenience reason. I would not have to 
search dub registry for serial libraries and try them out.
For functionality included in Phobos I know they were reviewed by 
several developers and therefore have high code quality and only 
few bugs.


Kind regards
Andre

Really? If the consensus is that it should go in, then okay, but I don't
think that I've ever seen a standard library with anything like
functionality for talking to serial ports. And what would having it be in
Phobos buy you over just grabbing it from code.dlang.org?

I think it's different things.
serialport is wrap around system calls, it's not control hardware 
directly.
You could be misled by the phrase about 'hardware flow control': 
is't set on or off using of RTS and CTS pins of UART. Firmware 
control RTS and CTS pins directly.

These 3 versions of the same API is precisely the reason for me 
starting the Photon project.


Otherwise - great to see serial ports library and I'd be glad to 
one day test it for compatibility with my approach.

I used this library for my end-of-degree project a couple years 
back, I'm really glad to see it come to a stable version. 
Congrats and thank you!

* Non-blocking `SerialPortNonBlk` and `SerialPortFR` for usage

Maybe `SerialPort!Blocking` would fit better with the language's 
features? I know I'm just being picky and it's mainly a matter of 
taste, but still.
