Installing pySerial

[Joe G (Home)]

Hi All,

Background
===================
I have installed Python for windows today from the python web site  .I also 
installed pySerial using the Windows installer from the sourceforge web 
site..... Both installs use the default directories.

Phyton  version    : Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 21 2008, 13:11:45) [MSC 
v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

pySerial   2.4   July 6th


Problem :  Errors Screen output
============================
>>> import serial

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    import serial
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\serial\__init__.py", line 18, in 
<module>
    from serialwin32 import *
  File "C:\Python25\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
>>>

So it looks like Python can not see some of the modules

Here's the active paths

>>> print sys.path
['C:\\Python25\\Lib\\idlelib', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python25.zip', 
'C:\\Python25\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python25\\lib', 'C:\\Python25\\lib\\plat-win', 
'C:\\Python25\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Python25', 
'C:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages']
>>>

It seems that   C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\serial   needs to be added to 
the PYTHONPATH


QUESTION
=============
Q1.  How do I add C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\serial  to the PYTHONPATH ?

Q2. How do I check that I have installed  pySerial  corretly  (using the 
Windows installer)

Thanks in advance


Joe
