JBUS and Python which way

[mjekl]

Hi,

I'm a newbie without a technical background making some technology
research for a company I work for.

My aim is to have an idea of the alternatives technologies for
accessing
information produced by a machine with a JBUS interface (RS232) and how
to
access this information realtime in Python (connecting a PC locally via
serial
port).

I'm aware of pyserial but I wonder if there is a library/module that
takes care of accessing/interpreting JBUS protocol. I've searched for
this without results.

I also searched the net looking for some information so that I could
have a
birds-eye-view on this subject and got the impression that a
possibility is to
have the communication (JBUS protocol / buffering) managed by some
hardware
component. Is this so? Can some-one give me some pointers/resources on
this
subject. Would it still be possible to work with Python.


Hope this makes any sense.
All help appretiatted.
Txs,
Miguel
