Hello, I'm looking for a robust way to list the available serial (COM) ports on a Windows machine. There's this post about using WMI, but I would like something less .NET specific - I want to get the list of ports in a Python or a C++ program, without .NET. I currently know of two other approaches: Reading the information in the HARD...

I could (in theory) figure out the basics by experimentation, but there's always the possibility that I'd be ignoring some important variable. For example, I'm having difficulty finding definitive information on the followi...
