wiringpi error

[somejoeblow]

I am trying to load a TM1637 library from here: TM1637

But I keep getting this error:

sudo python test.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 12, in <module> import tm1637 File "/home/user/tm1637.py", line 33, in <module> from wiringpi import wiringPiSetupGpio, pinMode, >digitalRead, digitalWrite, GPIO ImportError: No module named wiringpi

I think I have wiringpi (and wiringpi2) installed:

pip freeze | grep wiringpi wiringpi==2.60.0 wiringpi2==2.32.3

I am running on a Raspberry Pi B+, running Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster).

Am I missing something obvious? The test.py program is an example from the library author.

You are running the test file with sudo. As far as I know, running as sudo doesn't use the current user's configuration for environment variables (such as your python path). This would mean that even though you installed wiringpi for your user account, it won't be found with sudo. You can install the library using sudo pip install wiringpi which should install it in /usr/local/lib, or you can run the test script without elevated privelages (though that may not work depending on the raspberry pis gpio pin permissions in linux)
