I found some code via the Python mailing list that enumerates the  
serial ports.  It's called OSXSerialPorts and written by Pascal  
Oberndoerfer.  I actually haven't used it yet, but it contains a C file  
and a Python wrapper.

The interactive environment for PythonIDE seems to work ok.

I started looking into this again.  It appears to be hanging in  
OnDirListingResults in gui.py -- an infinite loop in "while cookie!=0"  
statement.  The path is a null string.  I verified that getfilesystem  
is returning a proper dictionary containing file system info.  Any  
thoughts before I look into this further?  Also, what's the deal with  
subtracting 10000 in the initial cookie calculation?
