ImportError about bme280-python

[Gadgetoid]

How did you install the library?

[Gadgetoid]

Did you pip install bme280 instead of pip install pimoroni-bme280?

Edit: okay, plot twist - I just ran into exactly this error on a ROCK 5B. It was fixed with pip install --upgrade pimoroni-bme280, but that doesn't really explain why I got a corrupt package install in the first place.

[ShorTie8]

sudo pip install pimoroni-bme280
is what I did

[ShorTie8]

also ran the installer too...

[Gadgetoid]

Must be somehow getting an older version of the library, since there was a bug like this prior to v0.1.1 - 9107157

What do you see if you: pip freeze | grep bme280

And also:

cat /usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/bme280/__init__.py

Okay that bme280 library is not our bme280 library, I wonder if it's just shadowing ours or was installed by the installer accidentally.

Try:

pip uninstall bme280
pip install --upgrade pimoroni-bme280

You should now be working in a virtual environment. I've explained why in exhaustive detail here: pimoroni/boilerplate-python#13

If it sounds like tedious nonsense to you, welcome to the last two months of my life.

In short, you'll need to:

sudo apt install python3-virtualenvwrapper virtualenvwrapper
source /usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper.sh
mkvirtualenv your_project_name

Then install everything into that virtual environment with pip install and to get back into the environment:

source /usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper.sh
workon your_project_name

You can add source /usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper.sh to the bottom of ~/.bashrc to avoid having to repeat that step every time.
