I think it is helpful to understand how to read/write the device
files. It makes it trivial to arrange a series of shell scripts to
control the hardware if need be.
Here's a Python program that reads from the serial port and prints to stdout:
import serial,sys
s=serial.serial(baudrate=9600) # defaults to first serial port
while 1:
c=s.read(1)
sys.stdout.write(c)
sys.stdout.flush()
