Pyserial,Docs, tutorials, line terminators

[vector]

thanks Chris i have managed to get it kinda working. I was after a more 
broad spread doc or tut on how the whole pyserial thing works. I have 
many ifs n maybes about it. for eg if I have an error in my script and 
its after the open serial port. when i next run it the port cant be 
opened. id prefer to if open close it then reopen so i know the exact 
state of the port. I think its not helping running from pythonwin IDE.
id also like to interegate the port error messages(as displayed on the 
interactive window), trap it and deal with it rather than just bomb out.
