Python Multi-threading with PySerial object

Question

I am new to Python and programming in general. I am trying to write a device driver using pyserial. I opened a thread that would read data from the device and send it to std

Answer 1

You can do it like this:

import serial
from threading import Thread
from functools import wraps


# decorate the function - start another thread
def run_async(func):

        @wraps(func)
        def async_func(*args, **kwargs):
                func_hl = Thread(target = func, args = args, kwargs = kwargs)
                func_hl.start()
                return func_hl

        return async_func

@run_async                     #use asyncronously 
def writeInstruction(ser):
    #reads command from stdin
    #Writes the command to the device (enabling data output)


@run_async                     #use asynchronously
def readData(ser):
    #reads the packets coming from the device
    #prints it through std out

your_arg = 'test'
writeInstruction(your_arg)
