The examples I found are mouse.py and gpsfix.py and there only listening on
the serial line. It seems that with twisted I have some sort of a thread
running
which will trigger some methods (e.g. dataRecieved) as it reads something
from the serial line. How could I send data then?

Ok I see, and the Protocol subclass provides the dataReceived method!?

end up in a dataReceived method - but note that you'll have to do some

buffering, as you can't be assured that dataReceived will get called with

Hmm ok so I have to design dataReceived() to buffer the received data until
it get's
the whole answer packet and than let it call e.g. packetRecieved() to
process the
packet ... I'm mot sure if this asynchronous approach is what I need,
because the
protocol I'm implementing is strict Master-Slave.
