Implement a virtual serial device to test UPC inputs #14

Description

I need to implement a virtual serial device to mock the input of a UPC read in via the UPC reader device to test inputs.

This StackOverflow answer seems to talk about doing this in Python.

Actually, the UPC scanner that I bought behaves as an HID (Human Input Device), meaning that it behaves like a keyboard. I can skip this testing and just directly test the class I implement to do the UPC lookup via formation of a URL.
