i know this should be really really really easy, and my google searches keep
pointing me in circles suggesting that nobody else has had this problem, but
i'm apparently missing something fundamental.
$ python
Python 2.7.18 (default, Mar 8 2021, 13:02:45)
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import serial
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named serial
$ apt install python-serial
E: Unable to locate package python-serial
python3-serial is installed and "import serial" works fine in python3, but the
programs for controlling the robot are made for python2 and i don't know how
hard it will be to port them over:
$ uname -a

$ lsb_release -a

thank you for any help! This is really weird.
