dependency on serial #2

Open gapster opened 3 years ago

gapster commented 3 years ago

Am I right that pypolar depends on serial? I had strange issue installing pypolar using conda skeleton and serial from conda-forge. I don't know exactly what or why, but after installing pycolor and then serial my conda was rendered useless., throwing lots of errors. Guessing that the problem lies with the installation of serial, I will ask ...

How does pypolar use serial, and more to the point, can pypolar run without serial? If so, which modules use serial?

As I said, I'm guessing what caused the problem. and since it's a bit hard to see what serial does for pypolar, I'm starting there as a work-around.

Sorry for the confusion.

No, you do not need serial to use pypolar. It is only included because my students use one of the files to export data from an ellipsometer.

I will look into how to remove the serial dependency after finals week.

Wow, fast reply! Thanks!
