Physical serial port is dead on PC but USB-to-Serial give it a second life. Serial port stuff won't interest end users at all. But it is still used in the EE world and so on. Arduino uses it to upload programs. Sensors may use serial port to communicate with PC. GSM Modem also uses serial port to communicate with PC. Unforunately, pySerial project doesn't seem to have a good state. I find pySerial + Python 3.3 broken on my machine (Python 2.7 is OK) . There are unanswered outstanding bugs, PyPI page has 2.6 while SF homepage still gives 2.5. Any idea?
