It was done on purpose, for educational purpose... :) 
My bad, however I should point that learning the very basic of a language by implementing a low level equipment remote protocol is rather ambitious.
By experience I know that you are annoyed by a crapload of nasty details without even caring about the python syntax, including:
  * LF/CR sequence
  * Inconsistent  answer pattern, depending on the equipment vendor
  * broken netcode that can block the remote server
  * timeouts
  * poor equipment feedback
I still wish Jean a great success :)

I'm a newbie in Python programming that is very much true, and contrary to what you seem to suggest I did my homework: I succeeded
already in writing a Python-script which communicates directly over rs232 with the same device which I now am trying to connect to via a rs232-ethernet adapter.
So I thought it would be simply a matter of communicating the same commands as I did before.
Here are some parts of my code:
serkeith = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0', 9600, 8, timeout=5, xonxoff=1)
serkeith.write("*RST" + "\n")
#turn off concurrent functions
serkeith.write(":SENS:FUNC:CONC OFF" + "\n")
#current source function
serkeith.write(":SOUR:FUNC CURR" + "\n")
#volt sense function
serkeith.write(":SENS:FUNC 'VOLT:DC'" + "\n")
#105V compliance
#serkeith.write(":SENS:VOLT:PROT 105" + "\n")
compliancestring=':SENS:VOLT:PROT '+str(compliancevalue) + '\n'
serkeith.write(compliancestring)
.
.
keithleymeasurement=serkeith.readline().split(',')

Also I got it working with nc and telnet, I just don't know how to accomplish this using python.
Tomorrow I'll look further at some a the more recent suggestions

kind regards,
jean
