Windows pyserial install extremely painful #4

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Originally Reported by westfw, May 25 (4 days ago)
the windows version of inkscape currently includes its own copy of Python,
since it is somewhat unlikely that the average windows inkscape user will
already have installed python.  the windows pyserial installer looks for
python already installed, but cannot/doesn't find the version "under"
inkscape, so you have to install a separate version of python under
windows, install pyserial there, and then copy it to the inkscape python
directories...  (Ouch!)

Do you think it would be possible to include pyserial source in the eggbot
extension directory, and then have the GUI install it as appropriate in
Inkscape's copy of python?  Apparently the inkscape-included python isn't
quite complete enough to run stand-alone and I guess the pyserial installer
is actually written in python as well (at least, that was the case on the Mac.)

The windows installer program solves this issue.
