title: Syntax Error when importing serial
body: <p>I'm pretty new to Python and wanted to try it out by making some stuff happen with my Arduino microcontroller. So I downloaded the serial library, placed it into the Lib folder and imported it into my programm. Unfortunately the import causes the following Syntax Error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "C:\Python33\test.py", line 2, in &lt;module&gt;
      import serial
    File "C:\Python33\lib\serial\__init__.py", line 19, in &lt;module&gt;
      from serial.serialwin32 import *
    File "C:\Python33\lib\serial\serialwin32.py", line 12, in &lt;module&gt;
      from serial import win32
    File "C:\Python33\lib\serial\win32.py", line 196
      MAXDWORD = 4294967295L # Variable c_uint
                           ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am using Windows 7 64 Bit. How can I fix this? I don't find any other versions of the serial module.</p>
