pyserial, ImportError: No module named serial

Question

I know this question have been asked several times, but none of the solutions I saw solved my problem.

I have been trying to use the serial library from Sublime Text 2 in my mac.

import serial

Everytime I call this library, I get this message:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/Users/andreapatri/Desktop/test.py", line 1, in <module>
      import serial
  ImportError: No module named serial
  [Finished in 0.0s with exit code 1] 

I already installed python 3

brew install python3

and pyserial

sudo pip install pyserial

I am new using mac. Can you please tell me how to fix the error?

Answer 8

Try in anaconda command prompt as:

conda install -c anaconda pyserial

Make sure your relevant serial port is not already used by another program or process that has exclusive access to serial communication.

I hope this helps.😊
