[Gumstix-users] Newbie installing pyserial

[joeynor <joe...@gm...>]

Hi,

This is probably a stupid question, but I've been searching through the
mailing list 
about installing pyserial and still without success.

I've used the latest stable prebuild factory image for overo, since it
already had python installed.
http://cumulus.gumstix.org/images/angstrom/factory/overo-201010200957/
I downloaded the pyserial library at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyserial
and run python setup.py, I got this error.


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 8, in <module>
    from distutils.core import setup
ImportError: No module named distutils.core

I also tried the image created by Neil, at 
http://cumulus.gumstix.org/images/angstrom/developer/2011-03-22-1537/

and tried to run python setup.py, with the same errors.

I understand that pyserial package is already available in oe, but I don't
understand
where can I find stable images for oe. And what repositories should I use to 
install pyserial.

There are also suggestions about using bitbake to create my own image with
pyserial installed.
As for now, I'm looking for the least effort route. I hope I don't have to
go playing around with bitbake.
It sounds complicated.

I'm using Overo Fire with Palo35 expansion board.
Thank you in advance.

--Joey
