So, let's see....
Serial communications does not come with Python so a separate package
has to be installed. Okay, but the pyserial Windows installer will not
work in Windows 7 and will not be fixed. So, a source install is
required. I _assume_ the source is the one that is a tar.gz thingy.
Since Windows will not handle the unpacking of that, I have to install a
decompressor/unpacker to do it. Then I can finally get around to
installing the serial package. Maybe. Unless I run into a similar
problem because of Win 7 or because pyserial is 32-bit.
I think it is better that I stop now before I install a bunch of extra
applications that I need only to install one or two Python modules.
I like Python itself. Very powerful. But I guess I'll look for some
other language which provides the features I need without the hassle.
Thanks again for your help.
Cheers,
John

Hi, Emile -
Install from sources? What is that?
see http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/pyserial.html#installation the From
Source section.
I'm not sure what else may be required but it should help get you started.

I searched for that phrase but did not find anything I could
understand. My shortcoming, perhaps.
Thanks for your reply.

where it's explained that this bug won't get fixed, but that you can
install from sources.

Subject: Installing Pyserial for Python27 on Win 7
My OS is Win 7. I have the 64-bit Python27 installed and it works
well.
I want to be able to do serial communications. I downloaded Pyserial,
unfortunately in 32 bit release only, and I cannot install it. When I
attempt
the installation, it says "No Python installation found in the
registry" and I
cannot continue.
1) Does a 64-bit release of Pyserial exist?
2) Will the 32-bit release of Pyserial work with my OS somehow?
3) If the answer is Yes to #2, how do I get past my problem?
Thanks in advance for help.
Cheers,
John
