I/O error, CGI, Installing library
Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2012 7:45 pm
Hi all,
I'm getting fairly competent now at writing python code etc, but i'm still quite new to it. I have the BMP085 barometric pressure sensor, and am using the Adafruit module libary for it. My code has worked so far, and i've got what I want out of it, but one thing has been bugging me. The library is just a folder with .py and .pyc files. I've never quite worked out how to properly "install" this library. I've always just had the files in the same folder as the scripts i'm working on. How do i go about properly installing the library?
This has only really been a problem now as i'm attempting to write CGI scripts for reading sensor readings online, where I will be writing a dynamic html page to present the data. I have CGI scripts now working using apache within a "/var/www/cgi-bin" folder, where i'm fine importing time and inserting this into html etc. The issue i'm now getting is using the Adafruit_BMP085 library. As before, the only way i can get it anywhere near working (still not getting data) is to place the .py files into the same cgi-bin folder, which i'm guessing isn't the most efficient.
The error log from apache is shown below, where you can see it running through the BMP and I2C libraries until it hits an "IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied".
Can anyone help me work out what's my issue? And how to properly install these libraries?
