I seem to have fallen behind in reading clp...  Better late than
never, though.

You should be setting the bps using the numbers at indexes 4 and 5 in
the list returned by tcgetattr, which tcsetattr will then use in calls
to tcsetospeed() and tcsetispeed(), instead of trying to change
c_cflag.

For example:

>>> import os, termios, TERMIOS
>>> fd = os.open('/dev/ttyS1', os.O_RDWR | os.O_NOCTTY | os.O_NDELAY)
>>> a = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
>>> a[4:6]
[4098, 4098]  # = B115200, B115200
>>> b = a[:]
>>> b[4:6] = [0, TERMIOS.B1200]
>>> termios.tcsetattr(fd, TERMIOS.TCSANOW, b)
>>> c = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
>>> c[4:6]
[9, 9]  # = B1200, B1200
>>> termios.tcsetattr(a)  # Leave things as we found them.
