Shebang is a hint- the app calling the script does not necessarily respect that. Did you try installing through apt? sudo apt install python-serial

For anyone else coming here, I tried everything in this thread which didn't work for me but the command above (instead for python3) fixed it:

sudo apt install python3-serial

Worked for me on Ubuntu 20.0.4
