Too easy for you guys? That's okay. I will do the research myself and would only ask for correcting me if I am wrong on something. I hope noone minds my using this thread as a note board and perhaps someone googling for similar information one day will find it useful.

Here is what I found overnight.
First of all, I was mistaken about python language. The key word here was "driver".

Windows will require a driver made using a Driver Development Kit to convert ascii sent by the device to the computer (this kind of programming may require putting windows into a virtual machine). The communication is actually going to be in two directions.

Now, I will need to find out how to make an electronic device capable of sending and receiving ascii.

Anyone, is that right so far?
