I don't see any references to ser after the call to ser.readline().

Do you?  ;)

I was trying to make the point [again] that it's impossible to
to tell what's going on because the OP refuses to post enough
of his code to allow meaningful analysis.  

He's been told at least three times in as many postings that he
needs to post a complete example that demonstrates the problem
he's trying to solve, but he refuses.  I've explained multiple
times that the "excerpts" he's posting aren't sufficient.  He
persists in posting small snippets of mostly-irrelevant code
with no context.

I give up.  

I have a feeling I'm just annoying the mule at this point.
