Can't Install pyserial

[larry biscuits]

Hey guys,

I was attempting to install the pyserial package to access serial data on an Arduino Dock2. However when I run

opkg python-pyserial

It indicates that it is not recognized. Is it available on another repo somewhere?

Thanks!

I might be a bonehead....

I think it should have been:

opkg install python-pyserial

The Omega2 documentation does not include the 'install' command.
https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/uart1.html

@larry-biscuits dang, you're right the Docs are missing the install part.
Just merged a bunch of Pull Requests to the Docs, one of them fixes this very thing!

Had a new one though....I have python 2 and 3 installed on the Omega. Though, I can't get the python 3 script to use the pyserial module. It keeps giving me a 'module not found' error. Should I uninstall Python 2 and try to reinstall pyserial?
