ImportError: No module named Adafruit_DHT

[nashville_bill]

Hi,

I hope I can get some help with this problem; I've been trying to solve this for two days.

I am trying to use the DHT22 on my Raspberry Pi 3. I have installed the Adafruit_DHT library, and I can get the temp and humidity when testing with from the Terminal window, but I get an error when running my code from Idle Python 3.4.2.

I have installed Adafruit_Python_DHT, and the library, several times.

My code stops and gives the below error when it tries to import AdafruitDHT.

import sys
import time
import datetime
import Adafruit_DHT

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pi/Desktop/temphumiddb.py, line 7, in <module>
import Adafruit_DHT
ImportError: No module named Adafruit_DHT

* I found another post about this same problem, but I wasn't able to find the answer for my instance.

Thank you in advance.

Same issue here!

Did you install for Python 2 or 3?

I tried to install it by pip and by your source from githuib, I've installed last, and with all updates, debian for raspberry pi 3

On your system, "python" is mapping to Python 2 while "pip" is mapping to Python 3. If you installed using "pip" and then ran using "python", then the library was installed for 3 but you are running 2. Try running the script with Python 3.

Thank you, forcing the install using python2 setup.py install but still Home Assistant doesn't goes with it :|

ok, no comment... now installing AdaFruit_Python_DHT using pip3 it goes...

[adafruit_support_carter]

Just ran through the install instructions on a Pi and it seemed to work for me:

Try again. Maybe you missed a step? I used the readme from here:
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_DHT
I'm only showing the last step, but I ran them all (for Python 3).

[RedFoxy]

I solve it but I don't believe it too much... Frist I installed pip2 than I installed Adafruit_DHT by pip2, so my temeperatura_rack.py goes, than I tried to use Home Assistant but it use python3, so I installed adafruti by pip3 but nothing, Home Assistant doesn't found it and it was looking for 1.3.2 version, so I tried to install it by pip3 but it fail for troubles with wheel, I tried to upgrade and that to uninstall and install again wheel but nothing, so I look for 1.3.2 source but I don't find it, than I tried to install 1.3.3 again and... it goes! Than I tried to upgrade to 1.3.4 and it goes too...

For my script temeperatura_rack.py , after adding () to print it goes now

On your system, "python" is mapping to Python 2 while "pip" is mapping to Python 3. If you installed using "pip" and then ran using "python", then the library was installed for 3 but you are running 2. Try running the script with Python 3.

I had this situation too (wrong Python version). To change to Python version 3.5 I used this approach:
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-change-f ... bian-linux

I then re-ran setup.py in Adafruit_Python_DHT (not sure if this was necessary, but it seemed like a good idea).

It worked! The ImportError problem then went away when using both Idle3 and Thonny.
