In python you’ve excellent package pyserial that should be cross-platform (I’ve used only in GNU/Linux environment).
Give it a look, it’s very simple to use but very powerful!
Of course examples are provided!
By the way, if it can be useful here you can find a project of mine which use pyserial, as an extended example.
