Function to Continuasly monitor serial port and control other functions

[ricardons]

You may want to use a thread or a process depending on what your function1 and function2 are doing. You can either start them manually, use a library like APScheduler to have a pool of threads/process and add your function to the job queue, or start thread/processes at the beginning of your code and have them read elements in a queue. In the last case, your ReadSerial function would only have to put an element in a queue, which should minimize any interruption to the monitoring.

Whoud the class threading.Event be helpful?
