I've been using pyserial quite successfully to control a USB-to-serial converter. That is, controlling a couple of RS232 serial devices via the USB port through a KeySpan USB-to-Serial converter. Pyserial seems to make communication through the USB port quite transparent, at least on my OS-X system. -Bill -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
