no module named 'smbus' about bmp280-python HOT 5 CLOSED

and... even when install smbus2 and put the smbus2.py file in the pico I get ImportError: can't import name SMBus. I'm not sure whether there is a circular dependency and am working through the smbus2.py file to try to fix it but it's probably something else!
Still stuck :-(

All of our Python libraries were written exclusively for the Raspberry Pi SBCs under Linux/Raspbian, and are not intended to run on the Pico. MicroPython and "real" Python are quite a world apart.

We ship our own version of MicroPython with driver for various sensors baked in- see: https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/releases/tag/v1.18.0

from bmp280-python.

Thanks,

I have installed v1.18.0 from the Pimoroni git page now the link is fixed and running the example temperature-and-pressure.py script for the bmp280 gives:

MicroPython v1.18 on 2022-01-27; Raspberry Pi Pico with RP2040
Type "help()" for more information.
>>> %Run -c $EDITOR_CONTENT
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 8, in <module>
ImportError: no module named 'smbus'
>>> 

I'm baffled, having an smbus2.py script in the pico it's not used by
try: from smbus2 import SMBus except ImportError: from smbus import SMBus
If I alter temperature-and-pressure.py to just call from smbus2 import SMBus I get

>>> %Run -c $EDITOR_CONTENT
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 5, in <module>
  File "smbus2.py", line 25, in <module>
  File "fcntl.py", line 1, in <module>
  File "ffi.py", line 5, in <module>
ImportError: no module named 'threading'
>>> 

Again,a dead end with a missing module as sudo pip3 install threading doesn't produce anything.
I'm on python 3.8.5 on ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Any pointers to where to go next gratefully received

None of the code or examples in this repository will work- you need: https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/blob/main/micropython/examples/breakout_bmp280/demo_bmp280.py

All the Pico MicroPython examples live here - https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/blob/main/micropython/examples

I… uh… have no clue where that “Hello” is coming from!

Thanks (and Hello!),
That code works perfectly. - Please close
