What exactly do you mean by the serial mode? You still want to see tje
FT232R appear as a serial port in Windows Device Manager? Right?
If that is the case, you can either use FTDI's proprietary vendor driver
which supports both the serial port (VCP) and the D2XX direct driver.
There are python bindings. You should be able to use pyserial as well.
Or you can use usbdk backend of libusb-1.0 Windows, then
libftdi/pylibftdi; or pyusb/pyftdi under Windows. You can still use pyserial
or other serial port utilities after finish running libusb/libftdi based
applications.
If you do not need the FT232R to appear as the serial port, then you
can use Zadig to install WinUSB driver, that is the most stable way
to run libftdi under Windows since it is the most mature backend
of libusb-1.0 Windows.
