Right.  pyserial probably uses the same code for CPython and Jython,
if you want to avoid the warning you should exclude 'javax.comm' from
the build, either with the '--excludes javax.comm' command line option,
or by passing something like this to the setup function in your build
script:

setup(...
      options = {'py2exe': {'excludes': ['javax.comm']}})
