Pyserial on an Anaconda cloud notebook

I am building an app that reads from the serial port on my local machine using pyserial.

import serial.tools.list_ports
print(serial.tools.list_ports.comports())

This would return a list of COM ports if I run it locally on my machine. Running it on the cloud notebook gives an empty list, since it accesses the COM ports on the Anaconda servers.

Is it possible to access the COM ports of my local machine from a notebook on the Anaconda cloud?
