[Tutor] ExpectPy HOWTO/Tutorial/Handholding

[Curtis Larsen]

According to this recent blurb in "Dr. Dobbs' Python-URL" (a weekly
"what's-new-in-Python" e-mail newsletter), there may be another
possibility:

"""
How do you do serial IO in Python? Usual answer: It depends on
your operating system. New answer: not anymore! XIO is a new
cross-platform serial port driver for win32 and Unix.
http://groups.google.com/groups?ic=1&th=dae9fa4438b9bc9a,3 
"""

Following the link, we learn more:

"Currently, the module implements port creation, opening, closing,
configuration, reading, writing & status peeking. It has been tested
under Linux-x86 and Win-9X. It contains a naive implementation of flow
control (and pretty untested -- so beware!)."



Hope that helps!
Curtis

Several weeks ago I posted a question about parsing data from a serial
port. 
The data from the serial port uses a binary 3 to signal that it is
through 
transmitting. Someone mentioned that the ExpectPy module might be a
good 
candidate for parsing this data.

Does anyone have a HOWTO for ExpectPy?

Thanks!
