Ampy tries to work while picocom is open #30

Closed Cediddi closed 5 years ago

I think ampy should check if port is being used and if it is, raise an error. A simple approach would be using fuser to check if any process is holding the file descriptor.

Thanks for the suggestion! Let's move this to a potential future feature. Fuser is handy but wouldn't be available on windows so need to look for cross plat solutions there.

Cediddi commented 6 years ago

Fuser wouldn't fit to all linux environments either. I may look at a alternative way, maybe psutil and pyserial together would work.
