Comm Port support in Python ?

[Will]

Does Python have comm port support built in or does someone have a tool for
sending and receiving data in & out of a PC com port?

How about for the Mac ?

Thanks - Will

It has - as extra module called pyserial, you can get it from sf. It
supports *NIX, Windows and via special classes even JAVA/Jython.

If it supports mac I have no idea, but I guess OS X _could_ work, as its
*NIX-flavoured...

Yes, pySerial works on Mac. My BitPim project - http://bitpim.sf.net
uses it on Windows, Linux and Mac. And if you end up discovering that
you also need to support USB devices, I have a treat for you:
