HI!
Is there any way to setup BMP180 Sea Level pressure with Adafruit python library?

Or is there any other way?

Best Regards

You want this for calculating altitude? There is an optional argument to read_altitude, which is sea level pressure in Pacsals.

You can't actually "set" the sea level pressure. You pass it to read_altitude(sea_level_pressure) whenever you call it.
