5 access to serial port - ID: 1280917

Last Update: Comment added ( infidel )

Details:

It would be interesting to add a serial port interface
capability to the release. The oportunities for
embedded systems are huge, once python is running in a
platform that weights scarcely hundred grams

Supose you have just built an electronic gadget an want
to control or extract data form it. Instead of
painfully selecting and programming a microprocessor,
just place your pocket pc inside and program everything
with python.

For example linking a PDA with the RCX or the NXT. Porting PySerial and PyParallel modules would help - but I am not sure about IR (IrDA or Consumer IR for PDAs that can manage it), or BlueTooth.
