[Jython-dev] java.comm

[Marc K. <MK...@wa...>]

Hi,

I just started writing a CNC package in Python for the SimpleStep controller
board. This controller board receives commands through the serial port. I
managed this with Mark Hammond's Win extensions for Python, but I consider
not to continue this way because I'ld like my programs to be portable. As
Python doesn't support native serial IO support, I looked at Jython. As far
as I could see, the Jython distribution doesn't include the javax.comm API
which I found at java.sun.com. So my question is: How can I get the
javax.comm API working with Jython?

By the way, ... I believe that you are doing a great job and your work will
help people like me (I'm and old fashioned 3GL programmer) to use a rather
simple language like Python to begin explore the big Java-world.

Thanks

Marc
