| Hi all. Sorry if this is really basic, but I've been tearing my hair out searching all over the place. I'm a complete beginner to Python (but not programming in general, I'm more of a C++ man normally). I am trying to install PySerial on a basic MacPython installation on 10.4. As is suggested by the PySerial website I typed "sudo python setup.py install" and then tried the examples. Python just doesn't seem to believe that PySerial exists. I created a simple program just to import PySerial and create a serial instance: #!/usr/bin/env python import serial ser = serial.Serial() And all I get for my troubles when I type "python serial.py" is: Traceback (most recent call last): File "serial.py", line 10, in ? import serial File "/Users/myb/Python Serial/serial.py", line 11, in ? ser = serial.Serial() AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Serial' From what I have read online I am not sure that installing PySerial has put the right files in the right place. The only PySerial files I can find are in /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/serial and consists of just these files: __init__.py serialjava.py serialposix.py serialutil.py serialwin32.py __init__.pyc serialjava.pyc serialposix.pyc serialutil.pyc serialwin32.pyc Have I done something obviously wrong (and probably embarressingly amateur), for example screwing up the install of PySerial? I haven't installed a new version of Python. Thanks for any help. Mark Baxter |
