you can run pypilot on most systems. It just wont do anything useful without both an IMU and a motor controller... It is easy to connect a motor controller via usb port which is serial but the inertial sensors are generally i2c.
I purposefully do not support external inertial sensors. The reason is mostly, they would have a lag, or time-delay from the measurement to processing and this would enable people to use configurations that give pypilot a bad reputation. Of course being free software you can modify it to support this, but this is my reasoning for discouraging it (encouraging people to wire directly i2c sensors)
