I'm not in GUI-Programming and not that much OOP but you have done two
*evil* things ;-)

* do not mix tabs and spaces for indentation. Do not mix four spaces
indentation with eigth spaces (I can't even fix this with emacs).

* please, when you need some non standart modules (serial, stdio and Pnm
are non standart for my python) give the novice user a hint, where those
modules reside.

The rest *looks* good to me (until line 80): In python you needn't stuff
anything into OOP structures (you can mix OOP and functional programming).
