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 1

I solved this issue with this:

sudo easy_install pyserial

Answer 2

This command solved my problem on ubuntu:

sudo apt install python3-serial

Answer 3

Use python3 for running your script. If you try to use python, you will get this error message.

python3 <scriptname>.py
