Re: [Gumstix-users] py-serial installation

Weird...no, didn't have to fool with anything like that.  Just did the
buildroot with Python, booted up for the first time, and installed PySerial.
No trouble.  I'm not sure what the difference is in your case...

It installed ok, but when I go to use it:
 >>> import serial
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "serial/__init__.py", line 15, in ?
    from serialposix import *
  File "serial/serialposix.py", line 13, in ?
    import sys, os, fcntl, termios, struct, select, errno
ImportError: File not found

I installed py-serial on an ipaq with Familiar linux on it. It needed :
python-stringold
python-fcntl    
python-terminal
  from ipkg's before py-serial worked.  I think the above is the same 
error message I got on th ipaq.
Did you already have this stuff on your gumstix?
