Python Serial Write Timeout
I think there is little value in aborted data, because the timeout can strike at any given instance, so users would need to program every eventuality. In practice this means to handle as many cases as characters requested.

Do specify a timeout when opening the serial port otherwise it could block forever if no newline character is received. Also note that readlines only works with a timeout. Readlines depends on having a timeout and interprets that as EOF (end of file). It raises an exception if the port is not opened correctly. Access to the port settings through Python properties. Support for different byte sizes, stop bits, parity and flow control with RTS/CTS and/or Xon/Xoff. Working with or without receive timeout. File like API with “read” and “write” (“readline” etc. Also supported). The files in this package are 100% pure Python. Access to the port settings through Python properties.

It is also possible to add a regexp as first argument and the list will only include entries that matched. writetimeout(float) – Set a write timeout value. Setting up Python to work with the serial port July 30, 2009 at 07:21 Tags Python, Serial port The serial port (a.k.a. COM-port, or RS232) is slowly disappearing from desktop and laptop computers, but it's still a very important tool for embedded engineers and people controlling equipment in general.
EDIT
I found out what the problem was and have answered my own question.
Original question below this line
I have a serial bridge between COM4 and COM5 implemented in software (Specifically, HDD's Free Virtual Serial Configuration Utility)
I have two different python scripts starting up in two different instances of Powershell, receive first:
And then the sender:
When starting the sender script, the receiver script gets the sent message (So communication is clearly established) but the sender script immediately ends with an error:
I get the same error when I change the sender script to
So my question is: What exactly is timing out? How do I prevent that from happening? I mean, the data IS being sent so I could probably just put the whole thing in a try/except(and do nothing) block but that seems like a bad solution in the long run.

The clue is in the error message[1]
so we open that file and find:
Read that first conditional again:
so let us rewrite our code from before
becomes
and Et Voila: No exception.

Python Timeout Example
I need to communicate with an Arduino. When I use serial.readline() to read what Arduino has to say it works fine. But when I useserial.write('something') doesn't seem to do anything.
Interesting thing is that if I write the same code in the console or command-line, it works as expected..
Using Python 2.7.
Python code:
Arduino code:
Again, Python code runs fine from the console, so no idea why this happens.

Closely related to To know the state of USB (Serial) connection (connected or not connected)
I would not be using Serial.readString() personally. How do you know where the string starts and ends? Just check for three 'A' in a row.
Like this:
Note that this will fail (ie. it will light the LED) if it gets something other than 'A' which would include newlines, etc.
What it does it count the number of times it gets the letter 'A'. If it gets something else it resets the count. If 10 seconds elapse without receiving something, the count resets.
