Just to make sure that I understood it right,
Does this snippet mimic the problem that you have? Ive hardcoded "line".
========x=================
import serial
import time
ser=serial.Serial(0,57600,timeout=0.1)
i=0
line = ["Hi","There","Hans"]
while i <= (len(line)-1):
ser.write(line[i] + "\r")
print "Sending: " + line[i]
time.sleep(1)
data_in = ser.read(100)
print "Response: " + data_in
time.sleep(.2)
i = i + 1
print "Closing Serial Port\n"
ser.close()
=========x=============================
Cheers
Hans
