Realtime Data Acquisition and Plotting with Arduino and Python

AnalogReadSerial.ino

/*
  AnalogReadSerial
  Reads an analog input on pin 0, prints the result to the serial monitor.
  Attach the center pin of a potentiometer to pin A0, and the outside pins to +5V and ground.
 
 This example code is in the public domain.
 
 Upload this to the Arduino using the Arduino IDE!

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {
  // initialize serial communication at 9600 bits per second:
  Serial.begin(115200);
}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
  // read the input on analog pin 0:
  int sensorValue = analogRead(A0);
  // print out the value you read:
  Serial.println(sensorValue);
  delay(50);        // delay in between reads for stability

I always get this error:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Serial'
I have serial and pyserial libraries installed.
I'm getting this message on both Python 2.7 and 3.7.

Please help.

Do you have py.serial downloaded?

uninstall pyserial, and again install it

Do these 2 changes:
On line 43:
data = ser.readline()
On line 48:
ydata.append(float(data)*5.0/1024)

That works for me, and im using python 3.6

don't work, just empty window
