No module named serial

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run bin/wfrog -S

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Normal setup questions.
Actual:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/wfrog", line 37, in <module>
    import wflogger.setup
  File "/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/wfrog/wflogger/setup.py", line 27, in <module>
    import wfdriver.station
  File "/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/wfrog/wfdriver/station/__init__.py", line 26, in <module>
    import vantagepro2
  File "/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/wfrog/wfdriver/station/vantagepro2.py", line 23, in <module>
    import serial
ImportError: No module named serial

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version:0.8.2
OS:Linux (QNAP NAS)
Station: 3080 (which is connected via USB not serial)

Please provide any additional information below.
Version 0.8.1 worked fine.
The installation instructions say the the pyserial dependency is optional, 
however it appears as though it is not with 0.8.2.

pyserial is optional depending on the driver (station type) you use. In the 
case of vantagePro2 it is necessary to have the serial module in order to 
access the station

I haven't been able to set the driver yet. I am running bin/wfrog -S for the 
first time.

You need to install the serial package and then configure wfrog to use 
VantagePro. You will also need to specify the serial port which may vary. Since 
your VantagePro is connected by USB your port is likely to be /dev/ttyUSB0.

Sorry I don't think I make it clear. I have a Fine Offset 3080 station which is 
USB not serial. I don't believe I should have to install the serial package if 
I don't need it.

The easiest might be to comment out 

import vantagepro2

and  

class YamlVantageProStation(vantagepro2.VantageProStation, yaml.YAMLObject):
    yaml_tag = u'!vantagepro2'

in __init__.py in wfdriver/station/.

Then try again bin/wfrog -S

This is an issue with the vantagepro2 driver. "import serial" should go in the 
run method, like in the other drivers. I'll change and commit this tonight.

Jordi.

Hi Jordi, sorry for late reply. Thanks for fixing this. I will look forward to 
the next release. Any idea when this will be?
