Serial comms is broken on Processing Python Mode, as documented here:

> <https://github.com/jdf/Processing.py-Bugs/issues/245>

I suppose I can call this a "regression’, I have several projects that depend on Serial/Firmata and sensors connected to Arduinos.

Websockets is unfortunatly also broken on PythonMode… Are there any workarounds to read some real-time analog pin data from an Arduino?
