from serial import serial
joystick = serial.Serial("COM3", 9600)
joystick_x = joystick.write('0')
if joystick_x==1023:
    print("Right")
elif joystick_x != 1023:

Solution 1

Looking at the documentation it looks like you only need to do

import serial

instead of

from serial import serial

Solution 2

I installed serial library using "pip3 install serial" and get the same error even calling the library using "import serial". Then I found that if first UNINSTALL serial:

pip3 uninstall serial

and then install pyserial:

pip3 install pyserial

fixed the problem for python 3.

Solution 3

uninstalling python and pyserial package completely and then

installing python(python 3 in my case) back -

for all users and add Paths correctly

and then use

pip3 for installing pyserial

fixed all my issues

Solution 4

I was getting the same error, but what works for me was:

1. uninstall serial : pip3 uninstall serial
2. uninstall pyserial: pip3 uninstall pyserial
3. reinstall a previous version of pyserial: pip3 install pyserial==3.3 (I had 3.5 version)

I solved problem. Actually, I didn't download the library inside the Python:P

After installing the serial library using pip3, I get the same answer even though I'm using Import serial to call it.
