Here's a quick little page with some notes of how to install python and dependent modules. This was done on python 2.7
1. download and install python 2.7.x from https://www.python.org/downloads/
2. install python in the default directory c:\Python27
3. download the ez_setup.py script from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools (save this file in c:\Python27 )
4. open up a command prompt
5. type cd %PYTHON_PATH%
6. type "set PYTHON_PATH=c:\Python27"
7. type "python.exe ez_setup.py"
Easy setup is now installed .... to install PySerial continue the following steps
8. type "cd Scripts"
9 type "easy_install pyserial"
