Review: python-serialx 1.4.1+dfsg-1

Package Information

Descriptionserial communication library with synchronous and asynchronous APIs

This library provides access to serial ports from Python using blocking calls, asynchronous stream-style reader and writer objects, and lower-level asynchronous transports.

It can open local serial devices such as /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/serial/by-id/... and URL-like connection strings for remote serial endpoints. It configures baud rate, reads and writes bytes, controls modem lines such as RTS and DTR, and reports modem pin state.

The library can also communicate with serial devices exposed by ESPHome by connecting to an ESPHome API endpoint and selecting a named remote port.
