I've been using serial ports on Unix for 35 years, and maintaining serial drivers for Linux for almost 20. Many days, it seems like the tty/serial API in Unix is the rug under which all the ugly dirt got swept... Then I think about X. and I guess the networking stuff gets ugly pretty fast when you look under the hood. It's really pretty impressive how orthogonal they did manage to make things. -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
