I tried to install v1.9.3 using sudo python setup.py install on an armhf embedded system running Debian 8 with Python 2.7.9. It could not import "setuptools". I fixed this by running sudo apt install -y python-setuptools first. Credits for this solution: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14426491

Thanks for the report. This may be helpful for others who run into the same problem. It looks to me like this is a distribution bug, not a grabserial bug. At least I don't see a way to work around this issue in grabserial's setup.py. Thus, I am closing this as an issue, but will keep it in mind in case I get similar reports in the future. Thanks again!
