not much of an initialization... your port could be in processing mode 
where it interprets control characters, flow controls etc...
this initialization is not likely to work with binary data.

(the url above should be one line, here's the project page: 
http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/) download pybsl, extract serial* and 
use the serial.Serial class. i have trimmed it to work with binary 
data.

codesidered writing a class that represents you hardware? would be 
cleaner that juggling around globals.
