Hello! Could you help a new guy?

[Tutorus]

Hello,
I need help. I'm building a robot project with Raspberry pi 3 with a python program called lightSeeker.py This program requires to import a file called Adafruit_GPIO.SPI. The python command in the program is: import Adafruit_GPIO.SPI as SPI
How can I get such file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Victor

I don't know which install I did to get Adafruit_GPIO but I know I have it installed on my RPI.
In REPL window of python editor on RPI
import Adafruit_GPIO.SPI as SPI
dir(SPI)
Out[11]:
['BitBang',
'GPIO',
'LSBFIRST',
'MSBFIRST',
'SpiDev',
'SpiDevMraa',
'__builtins__',
'__cached__',
'__doc__',
'__file__',
'__loader__',
'__name__',
'__package__',
'__spec__',
'operator',
'time']

Did you ever do a pip3 install RPI.GPIO adafruit-blinka in a Terminal window on RPI?

Adafruit_GPIO directory is located here /home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages.

This what I get when do python3 -m pip show adafruit-blinka

Hi Tutorus,

I am curious which project of ours you are trying to get running (please provide a link). We primarily use busio.SPI with our CircuitPython projects on the Raspberry Pi.

@ mikeysklar I think @Tutorus is trying to run lightseeker.py from https://github.com/Apress/beg-artificia ... tSeeker.py

V2man - Thank you for the link.

Our Adafruit_Python_GPIO library is deprecated at this point. We currently support Adafruit Blinka (busio / SPI).

DEPRECATED! Please use Adafruit Blinka instead (was: Library to provide a cross-platform GPIO interface on the Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone Black using the RPi.GPIO and Adafruit_BBIO libraries.)

Thank you all.
V2man, yes! that is exactly the book where I got this AI project. So far, two test runs haven't worked since I couldn't find or decompress in Raspbian the file that I initially found.
I'll try to use the file you are suggesting and will see what happens. I'll keep you posted.
Thank you,
Victor
