Thanks for this! I was thinking we could drop Python 2 support entirely

You can release one final version for python 2 or tag a commit before dropped my py2 support. PyQt5 does not work with python2 (I guess).

The test run fails with an AttributeError while running on Python 3 (Windows)

Traceback (most recent call last):

    return self.stream.readline().decode('utf8', errors='ignore').rstrip()
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

readline() should always return a string, right? Why do we have to decode it again?

pyserial on unix platforms (Linux/OSX) returns bytes. I guess, we have to type check and call different functions or use try, except block.
