So, I am trying to use my RPi model 2B to control a DC motor with an l293d controller. I have moved onto the python3 script and imported the 'l293d' module. Here is my code...
import l293d.driver as l293d
motor1 = l293d.motor(22,18,16)
for i in range(200):
motor1.clockwise()
l293d.cleanup()
and the error that it returns is...
AttributeError: module 'l293.driver' has no attribute 'motor'
Can someone please explain why this error is occurring. Thanks.
If you read the documentation, there are two mistakes in your code. First, just use import l293d. Second, use motor1 = l293d.DC(22, 18, 16)
There isn't a motor attribute, but there is a DC attribute for DC motors.
This runs on my system.

[l293d]: Can't import RPi.GPIO; test mode has been enabled:

[l293d]: spinning clockwise motor at BOARD pins [22, 18 and 16]

(... Many repetitions of the above line removed ...)
[l293d]: Cleanup not needed when test_mode is enabled.

According to documentation page for the l293d Python library, you've used syntax that's incorrect. The docs suggest this may work:
import l293d
motor1 = l293d.DC(22, 18, 16)
then the rest of your code.
