I think its awesome that you are learning python. I am putting together a workshop for the new year where I'm planning to teach people how to build there own energy management system.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to hack my way through building a python scrip to convert ASCII data into MODBUS to make the whole thing work.
That should be Day 50 or so for you, so I may ask you for a couple tips :)
