I think that this means that yes you have imported the module Serial but
that it does not have a method called Serial.

I think that is exactly what it is but I am no guru and have no inspired
answer to give you.
Maybe it has something to do with your operating system and the fact that
you cannot call:
import serial
I have never had any problems with it unlike everything else.
Sorry I am not any help.
