Public bug reported: On Ubuntu Quantal 12.10, when running with the provided pyserial python package, calling "serial" produces an error message: File "/usr/share/pyshared/serialposix.py", line 64 50: 0000001, ^ SyntaxError: invalid token
This is because pyserial has been installed (by/for the package) by doing "python setup.py install" instead of "python3 setup.py install". A manual installation of pyserial, properly installing it with python3 solves the problem. Moreover, python packages installed in "/usr/share/pyshared" are not recognized, one need to manually add "sys.path.append('/usr/share/pyshared')" to all python programs. This is for python-serial 2.5.3 on KUbuntu Quantal 12.10 ** Affects: pyserial (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: 12.10 quantal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1110850 Title: pyserial not installed properly for python3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pyserial/+bug/1110850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
