im'aware of that library but it has some drawbacks for me:
1. initialization of binary mode is not correct on posix
2. i must be able to select parity e.g. 9600,8,E,1
3. i need the control lines RTS/DTR, which are not yet implemented
4. licence. it may be used in a proprietary product so i can't use GPL

mine is under the python licence.
