I'm trying to install a library to my RPi 3 B, but for some reason when I try to import it in my script, it won't recognize the library. This is the library:

https://github.com/widgetlords/libwidgetlords

And here are the install instructions:

https://widgetlords.com/pages/getting-started-with-pi-spi-libraries

When I perform the instruction:

from widgetlords.pi_spi import *

I get the error "No module found called widgetlords.pi_spi". I have tried installing manually, and also tried using the pip install instruction, but for some reason can not install this module properly. Any advice??

Thanks!

    What is the output of the install command (the dpkg -i line). And is the module meant for Python 2 or Python 3?

  • It is meant for Python 3. I realized this too so set python 3.5.5 to the default. I am still having trouble. Were you able to install the lib?

  • I'm not even trying. What about the output of the install command I asked about? Add it to your question.

Reset to default

Disregard. Was using Geany as the text editor which defaults to python 2. Changed it to python 3 which solved the issue
