There was a problem hiding this comment.
As silly as this sounds, we don't actually require pyserial because it's not technically required to use pymavlink. You can create other sorts of backends that don't involve serial. This is also why the import for serial happens when you try to create a mavserial object.
If you can find somewhere to put this in as a "recommends" that would be better.
Although pymavlink supports the use of serial connections with a flight control board and utilizes a serial connection package, this information is not reflected in the requirements.txt file. Simply running "pip install -r pymavlink/requirements.txt" and attempting to use the mavutil module over serial will not work as expected.
