Compatibility to Python 2.6 about pyserial HOT 6 CLOSED

that's not a bug according to : https://pyserial.readthedocs.org/en/latest/pyserial.html#requirements where it says Python 2.7 is the minimum requirement for pyserial 3.x

Im sorry, I think i missed this bit. But other than that it seems to work fine :)
Anyone has an Idea what other problems can occour?

Thanks, Olli

I'm not sure, I'll leave it to the maintainer to say.

Just wanted to say that this would be awesome; I need to communicate with an Arduino on a machine running RHEL6, which only has Python 2.6.6

I'm not in favor of maintaining compatibility to Python 2.6. For one it is an old, no longer maintained release and while those changes seem to be small, at first, it may become a burden in the future and I guess it is a very small user base...

You could always just install an old version.. e.g. pip install pyserial==2.7 to get an older release that is still compatible to Python 2.6.
