how do I create a class that Inheritates from serial using the python serial module?
I need to create a module so another user can import to his code and create an object by just passing the COM.
This is my module, called py232
from serial import Serial
class serialPort(Serial):
def __init__(self, COM):
serial.__init__(self)
self.COMPort = COM
self.baudrate = 9600
self.bytesize = 8
self.stopbits = serial.STOPBITS_ONE
self.parity = serial.PARITY_NONE
self.timeout = 2
#serialPort = serial.Serial(port=self.COMPort, baudrate= self.baudrate, stopbits= self.stopbits, parity= self.parity, timeout= self.timeout)
self.createSerial()
def createSerial(self):
sPort = serial.Serial(port = self.COMPort, baudrate=self.baudrate, bytesize=self.bytesize, timeout= self.timeout, stopbits = self.stopbits, parity=self.parity)
return sPort
I am trying to use it in another script:
import py232
s = py232.serialPort('COM6')
s.sndSerial('test')
Why don't you just create an instance of serial in a function. No need to create a sub-class.
from serial import Serial
def create_serial(port):
s = Serial(
port,
baudrate=9600,
bytesize=8,
timeout=2,
# etc
)
return s
It can then be used in another script.
import py232
s = py232.create_serial('COM6')
