[PyQt] PyQt5 QtSerialPort Error "QSocketNotifier: Invalid socket specified"

[Dan Arbogast]

Thanks for the response Phil, I tried substituting open() in place of
setOpenMode() and now the output is:

ttyUSB0
ttyUSB1
False
QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread
True
0
QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread
0

So now both the open() and writeData() lines show a new QSocketNotifier
error.

There are several examples out there for how to use QtSerialPort with C++
but nothing I could find for Python.  Do you know of any?  I shouldn't be
this hard.
