Hello Mike,

Pyserial was not installed and doing the install solved the problem.
Thank you very much. 

I did a fresh install from a live spin, and I knew python was
installed. I didn't check all the parts, though I should have. Don't
ever remember having to install pyserial separately.

Hope this reply makes it to the list. My prior message apparently
didn't.
