Python 3.12 will not accept import serial

[soltanis]

Working with Python 3 is frustrating because the thing that made Python really good -- the huge amount of libraries and bindings to external APIs -- has to be redone from scratch. Straight 2to3 conversions on those libraries tend not to work as well (I've tried).

I'm sticking to Python 2.6, personally. More support, more libraries, that's where I'm at.

Python programmers are stuck in the cruel position of choosing between a nicer language and more libraries. Often large libraries are waiting for smaller dependencies to be ported. I think this is the case with Django where they are waiting for the mysql bindings.
