Virtual Serial Device in Python?

this is something I did and worked out for me so far:

import os, pty, serial

master, slave = pty.openpty()
s_name = os.ttyname(slave)

ser = serial.Serial(s_name)

# To Write to the device
ser.write('Your text')

# To read from the device
os.read(master,1000)

If you create more virtual ports you will have no problems as the different masters get different file descriptors even if they have the same name.
