modem.connect(PIN) does not work in Python 3.x #68

I receive the following exception when using sms_handler_demo.py in python 3.4:

. . . . . . File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/python_gsmmodem-0.9- py3.4egg/gsmmodem/serial_comms.py", line 127, in write File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/serial/serialposix.py", line 475, in write n = os.write(self.fd, d) TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface

A google search showed that this is because string needs to be converted to bytes before using the write function (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5471158/typeerror-str-does-not-support-the-buffer-interface). Is there a work around for this? It is required for me to run the rest of my code in python 3.4. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Seems python3 is not supported here with new pyserial. I tried to convert data, terminators in modem.py. No success.

expectResponseTermSeq needs to be reimplemented in serial_comms.py

UPD: ported to python3 and new pyserial successfully

have you submitted a pull request because I have downgrade to python 2

My port breaks python2 support.

I abandoned this port not completed.

Coding new library (redused number of functions) is easier than porting this.

I have to write my own toolkit around pyserial. I ported a pduconvertor to python3 as well. You have to convert the string to pdu before writing it to port https://github.com/saviour123/PDU-USSDConverter
