Never tried it, but if you can open the serial device and get its file
descriptor, you should be able to use

  http://docs.python.org/3.4/library/asyncio-eventloop.html#watch-file-descriptors

BTW, the specification doesn't indicate if the reader/writer callbacks
are level-triggered or edge-triggered. I'm afraid they are
level-triggered.

At any rate, asyncio looks like a real positive development in
Pythonland.
