I found that win32serial.py, provided with pyserial, provides direct (bindings?) to the Windows API serial settings, which seems to have worked, after I copied the settings from the C code line by line, including the flow control and RTS. Thank you very much @Serge for your time & assistance!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
