I need to connect a lot of devices to computer which means my COM port number is very high i have another script that can get all com ports and it does for i in range 9999 as an example, this library does in range 29 i believe and i can change it to 99 but if it gets into 3 digit and 4 digit it no longer works. So is there a way to edit the code so it can detect ports on COM125 for example.

Hi ScarSoft, There is no restriction applied on port no in our library. Can you please test once with serial library as we are using this as our base library. Try three-digit port no. in pyserial and let us know. It will help me to analyze further as I am not able to create port numbering in the range of 125 on my system.

I believe there is a restrictions this line here portno_range = 29 I can change 29 to 99 and it works to com ports up to 99 but when change to like 150 it longer detects any ports. I figured out a solution to what i needed but maybe someone else might need the higher ports in future

Seems strange. I will try to find a way around this. Can you please share your solution. This will help me to analyze the issue.
