(Note that if you specify a sizable read timeout, you're closer to being interrupt-driven than you are to what is traditionally called 'polling'.) -Peter Peter, Thanks for the reply. I'm working on a s/w test program using python code.

Com1 and com2 play a part. The problem is that the python code has a lot of work to do.and the results from the hardware under test can come from either com1 or com2.at any time.

It may be a few milliseconds, or several seconds, sometimes minutes, before a response is expected. I'm not sure what timeout value I'd use. Using threads, and re-loading the timeout values on the fly may be a solution, but I'm not experienced with threads.and was hoping to avoid them.

Have you looked into letting the OS do it? I.e., reading from COM4: or whatever port in a thread maybe one byte at a time? Maybe you can get your end functionality without writing low levels stuff, depending;-) I haven't done this, but it seems an easy thing to try a few experiments with. The control panel should let you set baud rates and handshaking etc. I would think. Regards, Bengt Richter.

PySerial[1] is more than capable of handling all the low level operations with little more than 's.baud = 9600'. The OP was more interested in how to write his program so he could react to com port input in a timely manner in the face of having blocking procedures elsewhere in his code.

Win2000 is the main interest right now. Thanks Norm B Hello, I came across this problem as when I first used PySerial, I came from a java background which has the ability to register listeners to a serial comm instance and receive interrupts (although some implementations use polling behind the scenes anyway). I don't think that pyserial has this kind of thing so I used the following: def __checkSerial(self): self.__objLock.acquire() try: try: intNoChars = self.__objSerialPort.inWaiting() if (intNoChars >0): strReceivedString = self.__objSerialPort.read(intNoChars) #or you could fire an event self.newMessage(strReceivedString) except: #put any clean up code in here.
