   The usual mechanism is the pyserial module. Google is your friend.

   See answer to 1)

   I believe you need to implement the observer pattern. There have
   already been several successful implementations of this, and
   again Google should be capable of finding them. For example:

   Most Python implementations support threading, and there are a
   number of other asynchronous service techniques. There should
   be absolutely no problem.
