#90 No module named serialwin32

[Carlos]

pyserial does not work with windows XP and python 3.1. I have installed win32 extensions : pywin32-214.win32-py3.1.exe. The following error message occurs:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
import serial
File "C:\Python31\lib\site-packages\serial\__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
from serialwin32 import *
ImportError: No module named serialwin32

I also notice other people are reporting the same issue with no solution available.

I see this has been raised before, but I still don't see a solution.

I saw this problem when installing rc2, which has no specifically labeled py3k (3.0) version. Installing pyserial-py3k-2.5-rc1.win32.exe got it working for me. Maybe try that out if you just want to get it working. (Using 3.1, Windows Vista)

Please make sure you installed the -py3k version. Also, doing an "import serial" will not work if the current directory is in the root of an extracted source archive (it will pick up the local serial package which is not translated for python 3).
