Instead of trying to scan the serial ports with platform specific methods, use the python provided serial.tools.list_ports

  • changes/309.bugfix

  • changes/310.bugfix Tickets fixed by this PR.

  • d_rats/dplatform_generic.py Add platform independent list of serial ports

  • d_rats/dplatform_macos.py

  • d_rats/dplatform_unix.py

  • d_rats/dplatform_win32.py Remove no longer needed serial port listing method.

Attention MAC-OS users, please test this change to make sure that it works.

Github tests results look good for Windows and Linux, but the MAC-OS runners do not appear to have any serial ports to detect.
