I have been trying get this to work for 2 weeks. Will someone please help? Thanks.
This is probably because you're trying to launch "kindlepid.py serno" from within an interactive python session.

Open a command prompt (a DOS command prompt, you should see "C:\whatever>" or something similar as the prompt, not ">>>" which is the python interpreter's prompt). Change to the directory where you script is. Then run the script.
