When you are reading it in measurement is a string. The indicies of the string
are going to be returned in your print statements.
Similar to having done this in the interpreter:
In [17]: measurement =
'+3.874693E01,+9.999889E03,+9.910000E+37,+1.876595E+04,+3.994000E+04'
In [18]: measurement[1]
Out[18]: '3'
In [19]: measurement[0]
Out[19]: '+'
You need to split up your string and convert to floats.
measurement = map(float,
serkeith.readline().replace('\x11','').replace('\x13','').replace('\x0d','\n').split(','))
Something like that should work...
to test in interpreter do the following :
measurement = map(float,
'+3.874693E01,+9.999889E03,+9.910000E+37,+1.876595E+04,+3.994000E+04'.split(','))
In [24]: measurement[0]
Out[24]: 38.74693
