Revision history [back]

I prefer C/C++, but I don't think it really matters for serial comm. If you are comfortable with Python and it does what you want, then I would stick with it. If you really want to learn C/C++ then go for it. It really depends on what you want to do. My understanding is Python is already highly optimized, so I doubt you are really missing anything.
