Import serial breaks Python executable built with Nuitka about pyserial HOT 2 CLOSED

pySerial uses ctypes with no tricks, there is only one not so common thing in __init__.py where the different platforms are imported, these are selected by an if. So far i have not have any problems packaging apps e.g. with py2exe.

I would not like to add to add the proposed "magic" import line in pySerial, it would be an import that is not used anywhere which gives minus points on the PEP-8 scoreboard ;-) Maybe you can add that import to your application or find out why Nuitka does not pick up the dependencies in this case (maybe because os.name == 'nt' is not true while it scans the sources?).

Yes fair enough, if there's nothing tricky going on then this isn't really a problem with pyserial so agreed it's not ideal to address it here. (=

It's trivial to add the workaround to the application file, but I've also but a bug report in with Nuitka.
