I can't import serial package in pycharm

I am trying do receive data from arduino serial port. I write code like this when i run this code in cmd (after write python) this work properly. but i am try do this in pycharm AttributeError: module 'serial' has no attribute 'Serial'. i research about this bug. i try some method like uninstall pyserial then reinstall pyserial but it doesnt work. i install pyserial package like this pip install pyserial and also i try python -m pip install pyserial but it still dont work. i need your help

my code is here:

import serial
ser = serial.Serial('COM3',9600)
ser.flushInput()

while True:
    try:
        ser_bytes = ser.readline()
        decoded_bytes = float(ser_bytes[0:len(ser_bytes)-2].decode("utf-8"))
        print(decoded_bytes)

    except:
        print("Keyboard interrupt")
        break

and also i try from serial import Serial i get this error:

ImportError: cannot import name 'Serial' from 'serial' (C:\Users\NU-telebe\PycharmProjects\pythonProject1\venv\lib\site-packages\serial\__init__.py)
enter code here

This is an arduino forum, dealing with the code that runs on the arduino, no the python code on you PC. You would probably get more/better help on a python related forum

That's true: "not a question for Arduino, MCUs, embedded SW". An issue with Python on host side (a real Python question only).

BTW: I do the following code when reading MCU UART via/into Python.
I think: you have the correct "serial" library imported, just using it is a bit wrong.

import serial

ser = serial.Serial()
debug = False

def select_port():
    global ser
    #get_ipython().magic(u'gui qt')
    #ports = serial_ports()
    #port, ok = QtGui.QInputDialog.getItem(None,
    #                 "Select a serial port", "PORT", ports,
    #                 current=(len(ports)-1),
    #                 flags=QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)
    #get_ipython().magic(u'pylab inline')
    #if ok:
    ser = serial.Serial()
    ser.baudrate = 9600
    ser.timeout = 1 # sec
    ser.rtscts = 0
    ser.port = 'COM3'

Python Serial

The biggest "problem": what is the device name? In Linux it is often a path, a completely different name as in Windows with "COMx".
I think, you call serial.Serial() with wrong parameters.
A real Python question.

You seem to have both the serial and pyserial libraries installed. This might fix it:

pip uninstall serial
