ImportError: No module named GPIO about adafruit_python_gpio HOT 11 CLOSED

Interesting, do you have an example of the code that throws the error? Just want to repro it since I haven't seen it myself.

The intention is just to pull in the GPIO module so you can say:

import Adafruit_GPIO

Or:

import Adafruit_GPIO as GPIO

And start using the GPIO functions, since they're so commonly used. For other modules like SPI, I2C, etc. they have to be specified like:

import Adafruit_GPIO.SPI as SPI

from adafruit_python_gpio.

OK, I think I found the reason (I have it just by running any import like import Adafruit_GPIO).

I use the libraries with python3 which doesn't seem to like implicit relative imports!

Either from Adafruit_GPIO.GPIO import * or from .GPIO import * seems to work with both Python 2 & 3 :-)

Oh interesting, yeah python3 compat is on my todo list so it's good to know this might be kind of sketchy behavior. I'm not really attached to the shortcut, and it's probably better for me to change it sooner rather than later. I'll keep this issue open so I can come back to it when I test the libraries for python3 compatibility and perhaps drop the import entirely.

Hi Carlos,

I think there is a confusion of libraries.

Adafruit's code is wrapper for original RPi.GPIO library as well as
the Beaglebone's
one. The way to use it is slightly different. See
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Nokia_LCD for examples.

Thus the code for the RPi.GPIO (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/raspberry-gpio-python/ ) takes indeed this
form:

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(9, GPIO.OUT)

while the one for the Adafruit_GPIO takes this one:

import Adafruit_GPIO as GPIO

gpio = GPIO.get_platform_gpio()
gpio.setup(9, GPIO.OUT)

Good luck!

François.

Hello,
I 'm testing this lib, but or my code is wrong or can be a bug :)

import Adafruit_GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

This code cause error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "text.py", line 2, in
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setmode'

Does someone have idea ?

Coming back to this one a bit late, but I just merged in #17 which should make the library work with Python 3. Let me know if you see any issues--thanks!

I had this issue today on Python 2.7
I replaced from Adafruit_GPIO.GPIO import * with from .GPIO import * in the __init__.py file and the other imports in GPIO.py and I2C.py accordingly. This has fixed it for me.
You have an idea to this?

from adafruit_python_gpio.

That's odd, just to check what platform are you using (Pi, PC, etc.) and what Python minor version too (like 2.7.9, etc)?

from adafruit_python_gpio.

I am using a Raspberry Pi 2 running Python 2.7.9 and Raspbian.
I did not install the module globally, I put it into the working folder and included it from there.

Oh gotcha thanks for clarifying the usage. Let me raise a new issue to track switching over all the imports to proper python 2.7 & 3 relative ones. It's good for python 2 & 3--I just want to spend a little time to test out a few things and make sure it works for all the library's uses. Thanks!

New issue is here: #28

from adafruit_python_gpio.

I received the error "ImportError: No module named 'Adafruit_PureIO'" when I tried to run simpletest.py for MCP9808 with python3 (python3 simpletest.py). I then installed Adafruit_PureIO with python3:
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_PureIO.git
cd Adafruit_Python_PureIO
sudo python3 setup.py install
And this solved the problem issue.

i am using putty and remote desktop to connect to raspberry pi
when i run program with Adafruit_PCA9685 in putty command line that uses python 2.7 it runs the program but when when i use python 3.5.3 shell it gives import error
i did every thing this conversation says
but
SAME ERROR
"importerror no module named 'adafruit pca9685'"
