Hello John

In any case, to fix it let's delete all instances of pySerial and then
install it again, as follows:
1.) Open up your Python "site-packages" folder in Windows Explorer, e.g.
open up:
E:\Python27\lib\site-packages
2.) Delete any folder named "serial" that you may see.
3.) Delete any *file* name pyserial*.* that you may see, probably you'll
see "pyserial-2.4-py2.7.egg", there may also be an info file.
4.) Open up a Python shell and confirm that you can't import pyserial
anymore (e.g. "import serial" fails with e.g. "ImportError: No module
named serial". If it still imports then you still have some vestiges of
the existing pyserial installation left over.
5.) After confirming the previous versions are gone, please try
reinstalling it again from scratch. (E.g. extract source to some
suitable place and run "python setup.py install" from there, which
copies the required files into site-packages etc.)
6.) After installing, confirm "import serial" works again, then try your
test again.
Apologies again for adding to the confusion, and hopefully we're getting
closer. :-(

Hi, Walter -
I did the above and then got this:
>>> import serial
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
import serial
File "E:\Python27\lib\site-packages\serial\__init__.py", line 18, in
<module>
from serialwin32 import *
File "E:\Python27\lib\site-packages\serial\serialwin32.py", line 9,
in <module>
import win32file # The base COM port and file IO functions.
ImportError: No module named win32file
>>>
I guess that file was included in 2.5 but not in 2.4?
Thanks,
John
