How to install Python modules on Windows for Odoo

Question

I am trying to install ESC/POS and i get a message that some pythin modules could not be found.

I think the right solution is the one you pointed out yourself:  to copy the installed package folder to the \odoo9\server\
The only problem is that you need to copy also all their dependencies, as you point out, " serial" is one of them.
You can use pip to download a package with all its dependencies, it will show you everything it is downloading, so you can copy all of them to \odoo9\server.

Same problem with me. I'm stuck with two Odoo third party modules because of this. I really think there should be some "official" concern about those developers who are using Odoo for Windows, rather than the "change to linux" attitude.
Guys in Odoo! Help!!!
