Hi Bobby,
There's a module for handling the serial port called PySerial:
http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/
Does this look useful for you? You could set up a thread to read data
from each of your those ports, and just call read().
There does appear to be work on making PySerial asynchronous:

but I don't know how far this has gone yet; you may want to talk with the
Twisted folks for an up-to-date status on it.
Best of wishes!
