Following is an example of the code I am trying to write. It works, but
it produce an empty gz file (0kB size) even I am sure I am getting data
from the serial port. It looks like g.close() does not close the gz
file.
I was reading in the doc:
Calling a GzipFile object's close() method does not close fileobj,
since you might wish to append more material after the compressed
data...
so I am completely lost now...
thanks for your comments.

==== snippet of the code ====
def dataOnSerialPort():
data=s.readLine()
if data:
return data

g.write(data)
else: g.close()
Your while loop is discarding result of dataOnSerialPort, so you're
probably writing empty string to the file many times. Typically this
kind of loop are implemented using iterators. Check if your s object
(is it from external library?) already implements iterator. If it does
then
for data in s:
g.write(data)
is all you need. If it doesn't, you can use iter to create iterator for
you:
for data in iter(s.readLine, ''):
g.write(data)
-- Leo
