`Serial` attribute missing with the pyserial library (ubuntu 16.04 with python 2.7)

Question

import serial 

ser = serial.Serial("/dev/ttyACM0", baudrate = 9600, timeout=1)

while 1:

    Data = ser.readline().decode('ascii')
print(Data)

Error: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Serial'

Answer 1

You're importing the module, not the class. So, you have to use:

from serial import serial
