Yes. The driver of the USB <-> Serial convertor will add a (virtual 
port), probably COM5 or COM6. You just use that instead of COM1 or whatever.

You can just use import serial as with a real serial port. The module 
doesn't see any difference between a real port or a virtual one: the 
driver makes sure it looks just the same.
