2.
Extract pyserial-2.6.tar.gz to a temporary directory
3.
Inside the directory where you extracted pyserial you should see a serial folder, copy that serial folder to your python install Lib/site-packages folder.
5.
Extract pymcu-1.0.10.zip to a temporary directory
6.
Inside the directory where you extracted pymcu you should see a file called pymcu.py, copy that file to your python install Lib/site-packages folder.
7.
If you still have permission issues with writing those files into your python Lib/site-packages folder then you will need to put them into an alternative location such as a home directory or other place you have permission to write.
For example on windows if I was to put pyserial and pymcu into my home directory I would do something like this:
inside of: C:\Documents and Settings\richard\My Documents
make a folder called python-libs:
C:\Documents and Settings\richard\My Documents\python-libs
copy the serial folder and pymcu.py from the above instructions into that folder.
8.
Now in any of the examples or tutorials from this web site that have: import pymcu
you will need to add some additional code first.
Before the import pymcu line in the code add the following lines: (modify of course for your directory)
import sys
sys.path.append('C:/Documents and Settings/richard/My Documents/python-libs')
9.
Now whenever you do an import pymcu after those lines it will know how to find the python modules and import them properly.
