Problem with rosserial arduino and python serial

edit

I'm using ROS Kinetic on an ErleBrain3 trying to connect it with an Arduino UNO. I'm trying to follow the rosserial tutorials but after running:

rosrun rosserial_python serial_node.py /dev/ttyUSB0

I get the following error:

[INFO] [WallTime: 1539967951.033639] ROS Serial Python Node
[INFO] [WallTime: 1539967951.062010] Connecting to /dev/ttyACM0 at 9600 baud
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/erle/catkin_ws/src/rosserial/rosserial_python/nodes/serial_node.py", line 88, in <module>
    client = SerialClient(port_name, baud, fix_pyserial_for_test=fix_pyserial_for_test)
  File "/home/erle/catkin_ws/src/rosserial/rosserial_python/src/rosserial_python/SerialClient.py", line 358, in __init__
    self.port = Serial(port, baud, timeout=self.timeout, write_timeout=10)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'write_timeout'

I have the 2.7 python serial package which I think is the recommended for these tutorials. I'm very new to ROS and Linux please give me easy to understand answers. Thank you!
