[chirp_users] Chirp on Fedora 26 Error: No module named serial

[Fred Erickson]

Hello group,

Just downloaded Chirp on Fedora 26 for the first time. Tried to run it
from the command line and received the message below:

[fred at m5a97r2 chirp-daily-20170714]$ ./chirpw
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./chirpw", line 23, in <module>
    from chirp.drivers import *
  File
"/home/fred/Downloads/chirp-test/chirp-daily-20170714/chirp/drivers/idrp.py",
line 16, in <module> import serial ImportError: No module named serial

I have had no problems with older versions of Fedora and my internet
search hasn't provided any answers. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Fred
