Which version of Python do you have?  I double checked the rs232 in the 
latest dev snapshot with python 2.6 with success.

You can get the latest development snapshot from
   http://www.myhdl.org/doku.php/dev:repo
using mercurial.

p.s. I also downloaded 0.6 and reproduced the same error, I am not sure 
what the error is but it does not fail with the latest development snapshot.

Maybe a new release should be cut?  Probably would just be a bug fix 
release no new major features?

Hope that helps.
