3.

Actual Results:  
>>> import serial
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/serial/__init__.py:15: DeprecationWarning:
Non-ASCII character '\xae' in file
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/serial/serialposix.py on line 55, but no

  from serialposix import *

thanks for your report, can you please try pyserial-2.0 that is now in x86 stable? this should work with py2.3 now.

Comment 2 Richard 2004-01-24 17:29:26 UTC

pyserial-2.0 seems to work well in Python 2.3.3.  Thanks
