serial-interface 2.0.0

Extends serial.Serial to add methods such as auto discovery of available serial ports in Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X

This Python package (serial_interface) creates a class named SerialInterface, which inherits from serial.Serial and adds methods to it, like auto discovery of available serial ports in Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. The SerialInterface class can be used by itself, but it is mostly intended to be a base class for other serial port devices with higher level functions.

Example Usage:

from serial_interface import SerialInterface, find_serial_interface_ports
find_serial_interface_ports() # Returns list of available serial ports
dev = SerialInterface() # Might automatically find device if one available
# if it is not found automatically, specify port directly
dev = SerialInterface(port='/dev/ttyUSB0') # Linux
dev = SerialInterface(port='/dev/tty.usbmodem262471') # Mac OS X
dev = SerialInterface(port='COM3') # Windows
dev.get_device_info()
from serial_interface import SerialInterfaces
devs = SerialInterfaces()  # Might automatically find all available devices
# if they are not found automatically, specify ports to use
devs = SerialInterfaces(use_ports=['/dev/ttyUSB0','/dev/ttyUSB1']) # Linux
devs = SerialInterfaces(use_ports=['/dev/tty.usbmodem262471','/dev/tty.usbmodem262472']) # Mac OS X
devs = SerialInterfaces(use_ports=['COM3','COM4']) # Windows
devs.get_devices_info()
devs.sort_by_port()
dev = devs[0]
dev.get_device_info()
