Huawei E160 modem is not recognized

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I installed pyHuMod-0.03 on python 2.6 and ran following commands

>>> import humod
>>> m=humod.Modem()
>>> m.show_model()

It prints out.. '^RSSI:12'

>>> m.sms_list()
results in an output like this...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "humod/at_commands.py", line 160, in sms_list
    messages_data = message_lister.set('"%s"' % message_type)
  File "humod/at_commands.py", line 64, in set
    self.prefixed)
  File "humod/humodem.py", line 158, in send_at

Hey keheliya.gallaba, I have been having the same issue and though I am yet to 
completely fix it, I have made the following observations.

[ I am using Huawei E173 modem ]

Changing 

m=humod.Modem()

to

m = humod.Modem( '/dev/ttyUSB2', '/dev/ttyUSB4' )

enabled me to access some services like static info, sending texts was still a 
no-go though :(

Not giving up though and looking through the code, trying to figure out more. 
If you have come across any new info, please let us know

Update :

Using the lowest numbered result from running "ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*"
in both inputs, e.g

m = humod.Modem( '/dev/ttyUSB0', '/dev/ttyUSB0' )

gave more consistent results, allowing me to send, receive list and delete 
SMSes 

the modem kept disconnecting ever so often though and one has to find the 
lowest ttyUSB every single time you reconnect, not perfect but progress

Read carefully docs/GettingStarted, section Instantiate a Modem().
