Reading form serial port strangeness

[nige777]

Thanks for the heads up there Wayne, as you suspected my serial settings were wrong however readline() would still not work correctly with 'NMEA out' enabled but work fine with 'Text out'!
However I have ended up using the following approach - Thanks StackOverflow

buffer = ''
while True:
	buffer = buffer + ser.read(ser.inWaiting())
	if '\n' in buffer:
		lines = buffer.split('\n') # Splits buffer block into lines
		last_received = lines[-2]
		buffer = lines[-1]
		print last_received

which is working pretty much how I want it to
