You have found the root cause. Alternately do like this:
Copyser.write(bytes(b'your_commands'))

Short introduction — pySerial 3.5 documentation
The eol parameter for readline() is no longer supported when pySerial is run with newer Python versions (V2.6+) where the module io is available. To specify the EOL character for readline() or to use universal newline mode, it is advised to use io.TextIOWrapper: import serial import io ser = serial.serial_for_url('loop://', timeout=1) sio = io.TextIOWrapper(io.BufferedRWPair(ser, ser)) sio.write("hello\n") sio.flush() # it is buffering.

I see from your print statements (Using print() as function) that you are using python3. In this case write and read functions handle bytes objects.
For example, instead of using:
ser.write("This is a test")
use
ser.write("This is a test".encode())
which converts "This is a test" to b'This is a test'.
This is one of the changes from Python2 to Python3.

I'm guessing that the problem has to do with python's changes in string handling. From Dive into python 3: "Python 2 had “strings” and “Unicode strings.” Python 3 has “bytes” and “strings.”

ser.read(64) should be ser.read(size=64); ser.read uses keyword arguments, not positional.
Also, you're reading from the port twice; what you probably want to do is this:
Copyi=0
for modem in PortList:
for port in modem:
try:
ser = serial.Serial(port, 9600, timeout=1)
ser.close()
ser.open()
ser.write("ati")
time.sleep(3)
read_val = ser.read(size=64)
print read_val
if read_val is not '':
print port

r/arduino on Reddit: How on Earth do you actually send integers from Python serial to Arduino???
October 17, 2022 -
Sorry but I've been stuck on this 2 hours. I've checked every single stackoverflow link. I can send a string no problem, but when it comes to integers it just wont work.
Example. I call (Python): serial.write(b'20'). Arduino picks it up using (Arduino): Serial.read(). It gives out b'50\r\n'. I have tried everything to turn b'50\r\n' into an actual int. I have no idea what's happening. The code is literally as simple as those calls.
I will not use string because splitting a string then turning it into an int requires a page full of code.

We really need to see the full source code for both sides in order to figure out what the issue is for certain. But I'll give it a shot.. The Python code you give is sending the ASCII "bytes" for the string '20', not the single byte 20. You say that you don't want to send ASCII strings and then parse them but you are sending a string so it's already confusing heh. Your description of what is received on the Arduino side is confusing because the concept of b'50\r\n' is not a valid data type or syntax for the arduino. Sure I can guess at what you mean from a Python perspective but it is confusing if I'm being technical and specific. The syntax 0bnnnn is a valid syntax for the Arduino side of things but that indicates a binary number and the bits (n) can only be a 0 or a 1, so seeing the b prefix followed by anyting not a 0 or 1 one is up to interpretation. I'm not trying to pick on anything it's just that semantics and syntax are everything in the programming context so more explicit and valid is better. THAT BEING SAID - it should be noted that the decimal value for the ASCII decimal digit '2' is 50. Which would make me think that you are seeing the ASCII byte(s) of the string version of the integer you want to send and not the binary bytes representing the value itself. To send the binary value for the integer 20 from Python you would literally just want serial.write(20). Integers on the Arduino are 2 bytes by default. So if you wanted to send an integer from Python to the Arduino as the two 8-bit halves youwould want to do something like this: int value = 500 serial.write(value & 0xFF) # send the LSB serial.write((value >> 8) & 0xFF) # send the MSB and then on the arduino side: int value = 0; if (Serial.available() >= 2) { value = Serial.read() | Serial.read() << 8; } Hopefully I haven't made any dumb mistakes or typos and the observation of the decimal value for the ASCII '2' being 50 in decimal can help you understand what's really going on and fix it. All the Best, ripred
