[PyQt] Basic serial question

[Kyle Altendorf]

You mentioned pyqt4.  Was that a typo?

Presumably, the Qt library would help with async serial usage by providing signals and slots that pyserial would not have.  You could also use Twisted for a more linear approach to coding sequences of actions.  qt5-reactor is used to combine the Qt and Twisted event loops.

Deferreds, inlineCallbacks, and integration with py3 async syntax provide various levels of 'integration'.
