I think you may have misread the website, it says, "The files in this 
package are 100% pure Python. They depend on non standard but common 
packages on Windows (win32all) and Jython (JavaComm). POSIX (Linux, BSD) 
uses only modules from the standard Python distribution)." So if you are 
using CPython (the regular Python distribution, as opposed to Jython) 
and you are not on Windows, you should be all set with just pyserial.
