Hi

On the portable variant even if a plugin is installed (example pyserial), the import of the latter does not work ( import pyserial > ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyserial' ). portable variant with 64-bit Python 3.10

Can you help me please ?

Cordially

1) A Thonny plug-in is meant for Thonny, i.e. it is not something you are supposed to import in your programs.

2) The distribution package "pyserial" provides a module named "serial", not "pyserial".

Thank you for your two responses.

For Pyserial you are correct; I made a confusion between package and module. That works.

Now my problem concerns other modules not installed as a base like for example pandas. The installation goes well but then impossible to import pandas (No module named 'pandas').
The problem does not arise with Thonny installed but only with portable Thonny.

Best regards,

Are you sure you used "Tools => Manage packages" and not "Tools => Manage plug-ins"? Make sure you read the note on top of "Manage plug-ins" dialog.

Best regards,
