using asyncio to access a serial port

[James Richardson]

(cross post from c.l.p)

Hiya

I'm looking at using asyncio for creating an socket <-> serial protocol bridge, but looking at the current implementation of asyncio it looks to be quite socket specific.

I can't see any way to get it to support a simple serial device.

Essentially, opening the serial port is all fine, i just need a way to register reader/writer listeners on an fd. Perhaps I've missed something amazingly obvious...

Any advice on where to proceed would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!!

A added a new "Watch file descriptors" section to asyncio
documentation a few days ago, I just forgot to document these methods.
