Raspberry Pi Forums

I really been enjoying the raspberry. Interfacing with sensors easily is great. RPIO was tough to get loaded and running but does work well. However, get the i2c working is beyond me. Tried several "approached to get the module(s)? loaded but so far no luck.
It appears the "smbus" module is not being installed. "from smbus import SMBus" throws a runtime error -not found- Yes, I do set supper user status for the file. ( 'sudo' is one of my least favorite 4 letter words).
If it loads properly where will I find it?

You have installed python-smbus?

From memory but do a check elsewhere Only currently installs for Python2

I tried the code you suggested - several times - NG. Also tried working with the zip file 'smbus-cliff-0.1.tar.gz' also NoGo.
