can two python commands be written in one line in command window? actually the task is to write and read serially simultaneously ,there should not be any time gap between them ,therefore i need to type two commands at single time in command window.

ser.write('setphone-num1 09823232323')#-----------------setting phone number
ser.write('\r')
y=ser.read(37)
print y

this is in text editor ,but if i have to execute using command window then what is the solution?

if you're asking if two command line arguments can be passed in simultaneously, the answer is yes. Could you clarify your question?

yes,the question is what is the required syntax for the sending two commands simultaneously in command line?

Here's a link to the argparse module, give it a try, if you run into problems, show us what you got. I'll probably write a tutorial on this soon.

it's is going all Greek to me.

try the argparse tutorial, does this help?

Sounds like you want threading, but if argparse is over your head, then you should forget about this task.

[atraub]

I'm hoping he just wants to pass in two args in 1 line, rather than process them simultaneously. I hope I hope.

I assumed threading based on this:
