PI FACE cant import module into Python

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

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?

    If you are in 2015 and ran into the same problem as the original poster (ImportError: No module named piface.pfio) then it is because you are probably using this outdated guide PiFace Get Started Guide that was posted in February 2013 on this site. Things have changed since then (since Raspbian officially supports PiFace now) and you should instead read the official guides here: http://www.piface.org.uk/guides, in particular the software install guide: http://www.piface.org.uk/guides/Install_PiFace_Software/

     

    Tip: You shouldn't have to restart from scratch (burn new SSD image, etc.) when following the new guide, everything should work Ok after you've completed the steps.
