The different names stay, as anyone that uses one of these + has to write platform specific code anyway. + - Common base class serialutil.SerialBase for all implementations. + - PARITY_NONE, PARITY_EVEN, PARITY_ODD constants changed and all these + constants moved to serialutil.py (still available as serial.PARITY_NONE + etc. and they should be used that way) + - Added serial.PARITY_NAMES (implemented in serialutil.PARITY_NAMES). + This dictionary can be used to convert parity constants to meaningful + strings. + - Each Serial class and instance has a list of supported values: + BAUDRATES, BYTESIZES, PARITIES, STOPBITS + (i.e. serial.Serial.BAUDRATES or s = serial.Serial; s.BAUDRATES) + these values can be used to fill in value sin GUI dialogs etc. + - Creating a Serial() object without port spec returns an unconfigured, + closed port. Useful if a GUI dialog should take a port and configure + it. + - New methods for serial.Serial instances: open(), isOpen() + - A port can be opened and closed as many times as desired. + - Instances of serial.Serial have baudrate, bytesize, timeout etc. + attributes implemented as properties, all can be set while the port is + opened. It will then be reconfigured. + - Improved __doc__'s. + - New test_advanced.py for the property setting/getting testing. + - Small bugfix on posix with get* methods (return value should be true a + boolean). + - added a __repr__ that returns a meaningful string will all the serial + setting, easy for debugging. + - The serialposix module does not throw an exception on unsupported + platforms, the message is still printed. The idea that it may still + work even if the platform itself s not known, it simply tries to do + the posix stuff anyway (It's likely that opening ports by number + fails, but by name it should work). |
