serial port and event loop question

[bgue at my-deja.com]

Hi everyone. This is mostly a general programming question, but since
I'm using Python for this project, I thought I'd ask here... I wrote
database written with Python and Gadfly, and I've got a nice little
Tkinter GUI for it. I need to make it monitor the serial port for
incoming data (from a barcode scanner). I'm using the Serial module,
but I don't know how to have my program watch for new data
constantly...any help?

Thanks in advance,
