Would you expect this would also work under Windows, for example under the Anaconda/Python environment? COM ports are of course different, etc. but nearly anything today would be preferred over Conn-4x, it's ancient?

It's worth trying. Some of the features (particularly serial port detection) might fail or crash. I actually assumed that there were already better tools for Windows...but I didn't do any research. Good job, me! (sarcasm)

If there's a big demand for Windows support, I'd be happy to add it. The problem, though, is that setting up a functional Python environment on Windows is generally a lot more of a hassle than setting one up on Linux. One way around this is to use a program like PyInstaller, which can package up all of a Python program's dependencies, but then the final installer executable is quite large.
