Just implement your own service - subclass t.a.s.Service, write your own startService and stopService methods that start and stop the serial port. > Is there any technical reason that SerialPort does not implement > IService? The TCP port doesn't implement IService either... A service is supposed to be something you can start and stop, and encapsulates a self-contained piece of business logic. The purpose is both deployment and ease of regression testing. So maybe your service starts both a webserver and a serialport, because it requires both -- which is why mostly you should just implement your own service classes. -Itamar _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
