I'm just following the instructions given for installing D-Rats on a  
Mac. Here's a copy:

-----------------------------
Go to http://www.macports.org/install.php and follow the directions  
there
Once macports is installed, you can open a terminal and install the  
dependencies:

% sudo port install py25-gtk py-serial py25-xml py25-hashlib

This will take a long time.
When it's done, you'll need to link the pyserial package into the  
python2.5 library:

% sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/serial /opt/local/ 
lib/python2.5/site-packages/serial

After that, you should be able to download the latest source release,  
untar it, and run:

% /opt/local/bin/python2.5 d-rats.py
-------------------------------

I'm a novice at this command line stuff. So what's the difference  
between
py-serial and py25-serial?  And what do they do?
