When asking about 3rd party modules, it may help to give a reference to 
the site or download page on pypi. (And one should also check to package 
specific lists or help address.) For anything like i/o that interacts 
with the system, specifying platform/os may also help.

Actual code and traceback may help anyone to respond.

This would not execute. Did you mean serial.readline...?
