RS232 + python...

[SneakerNet]

Hey Franz
Thanks for the reply
ok i'm running win2k, python version 2.2.1
as mentioned in my original post i downloaded the 'uspp' files from the
site.
i unzipped the file and there were couple of .py files (and some readmes and
txt)
now maybe u can answer this where should i unzip those .py files to (i have
a feeling i might have unzipped them to the wrong dir).. also do i have
complie them or anything like that.. (the main files i guess would be
uspp.py and SerialPort_win.py)

anyway presuming i have instlled them in the right dir (which is
$python/Lib) when i type this command at the python shell (from uspp import
*) i get the following error:
----------------------------------------
>>> from uspp import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in ?
    from uspp import *
  File "C:\PROGRA~1\Python2.2\uspp.py", line 187, in ?
    from SerialPort_win import *
  File "C:\PROGRA~1\Python2.2\SerialPort_win.py", line 44, in ?
    from win32file import *
ImportError: No module named win32file
------------------------------------------

can u pls help me out ??
Regards
