PI FACE cant import module into Python

Former Member

Hello

Can anybody help me get piface module imported into Python.

Having followed the instructions in the element 14 guide.

I have edited raspt-blacklist.conf and added the # infront of the blacklist spi-bcm2708

Install of software seemed to go OK and the piface graphical emulator works fine.

 

The problem is that when we open IDLE3 or IDLE and

 

import piface.pfio

 

we get an error saying ImportError: No module named piface.pfio

 

Can anyone help me?

  • Still playing with the Pi and trying to get PiFace to work with python shell.

     

    Just as a update, I re-installed from the begining again with a clean SD card and I can now import the piface profile in IDLE, but not in IDLE3, I assume IDLE3 does not import due to some kind of path or it could be a diffrent syntax as I have noticed that the print command is diffrent between IDLE and IDLE3.

     

    I have had ago with scrach, but I am a bit stuch with this MESH function to share varibles as I can not make a MESH Connection between Piface and Scratch. I will keep trying and if I get it working I will update the post.
