Personally, I think that leaving the import bare and letting it fail is
the right way. If you look at most python apps, they do not try to
gracefully import things that are core dependencies and print special
messages. We do that for things that are optional that we can work
around if they're not present, but pyserial is not optional and thus I
don't think we should be defensive about such things.

If others think this is really important, then that's fine, but IMHO,
it's just not worth it. It's documented on the developers page as a
requirement and was just a little less obvious because you're running
out of the MacOS package.
