Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pylink' ↓

cause Library not installed or installed under a different name.

fix

Run 'pip install pylink' to install the library.

error AttributeError: module 'pylink' has no attribute 'Link' ↓

cause Incorrect import path; possibly the module is not exposed correctly.

fix

Use 'from pylink import Link' instead of 'import pylink' and accessing Link as pylink.Link.

error ValueError: Unsupported scheme: '' ↓

cause Missing scheme prefix in the connection string.

fix

Use a valid scheme like 'serial:///dev/ttyUSB0' or 'tcp://192.168.1.1:23'.

Warnings

gotcha Link.open() uses URL-like schemes (serial://, tcp://, etc.). Common mistake: forgetting the scheme prefix. ↓

fix Always prefix device with 'serial://' for serial ports.

deprecated Project is no longer actively maintained. Some functionality may be broken with newer Python versions or OS updates. ↓

fix Consider alternatives like pySerial, asyncio, or aiohttp for new projects.
