Installing / Importing Pyserial

Hello, I trying to run some code in Python to send serial data from my n800 (os2008) through usb using the PySerial module. I downloaded Pyserial from sourceforge, unzipped it to /usr/bin and then ran the setup inside /usr/bin/pyserial2.2 using the command

Code:

# sudo python setup.py install

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the module to work. Simply trying to import pyserial from the python prompt gives me the following message:

Code:

>>> import serial



Traceback (most recent call last):



File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>



ImportError: No module named serial

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Do I need to install the module in a specific place in the directory? And if so, where?

Re: Installing / Importing Pyserial

Can't find the module, maybe it didn't install properly.

but that gives error that there is no distutils.core :(
