I am learning Python and need to monitor a serial port.
i am using Pycharm with the following code.

import serial
ser = serial.Serial('com6', 9600)
while True:
    s = ser.read(10000)
    print(s)

This gives the error: AttributeError: module 'serial' has no attribute 'Serial'

PS. I have installed "serial" in pycharms python interpreter

Not sure what is wrong...

• python
• pycharm

• 2 do you have a file called serial.py anywhere in the same folder ? – Ahmed AEK Commented Nov 16, 2024 at 14:38

I found the solution.

So, in PyCharm you need to install pyserial not serial, even though in code you call it as as serial! Of course!!!
