如何使用 pyserial 将文件逐行写入 com0com？

Question

I cannot write more than one line of data from a file to a virtual com port (com0com) using pyserial. I am attempting to write the file line-by-line so I can simultaneously update a progress bar in Tkinter. I am running on Windows and have attempted to put the write operation in its own thread (per UART Controller with Tkinter and Python GUI ). My program hangs after writing one line.

Relevant Code:

    #Initialize Tkinter
    root = tk.Tk()

    #Create GUI
    gui = MainApp(root,
                  'Main Application')

    #Run program
    root.mainloop()

GUI Hangs:

Terminal Output:

1: '@01\r\n'
2: '@02\r\n'

The fact that I'm able to read from program.txt the second time around in the loop tells me the program might be hanging because the port is still stuck on the first write.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Set timeout and write_timeout to 0 prevents blocking, which seems to fix the problem.
