The ctb module is what you are looking for.

Try the following:

Python 2.1b2 (#90, Mar 26 2001, 21:40:11)  [CW PPC GUSI2 THREADS] on mac
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import ctb
>>> p = ctb.CMNew("Serial Tool", None)
>>> p.GetConfig()
'Baud 9600 DataBits 8 Parity None StopBits 1 Port "Infrared Port" 
Handshake None HoldConnection False RemindDisconnect False'
>>> p.SetConfig('Baud 2400 DataBits 7 Parity Odd Port "Modem Port"')
38
>>> p.GetConfig()
'Baud 2400 DataBits 7 Parity Odd StopBits 1 Port "Modem Port" Handshake 
None HoldConnection False RemindDisconnect False'
>>> p.Open(0)
>>> p.Write("Some text", 0, 0, 0)

For more info, see <http://python.org/doc/current/mac/module-ctb.html>

It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

HTH,
