using serial port in python3 asyncio

Question

i\'m trying and, so far, failing to use python asyncio to access a serial port.

i\'d really appreciate any tips on using the new python async framework on a simple fd.

pySerial is getting direct asyncio support. It's in experimental state now but is working as expected for me.

Example taken from the documentation:

class Output(asyncio.Protocol):
    def connection_made(self, transport):
        self.transport = transport
        print('port opened', transport)
        transport.serial.rts = False
        transport.write(b'hello world\n')

    def data_received(self, data):
        print('data received', repr(data))
        self.transport.close()

    def connection_lost(self, exc):
        print('port closed')
        asyncio.get_event_loop().stop()

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
coro = serial.aio.create_serial_connection(loop, Output, '/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=115200)
loop.run_until_complete(coro)
loop.run_forever()
loop.close()
