I tried to download the GPIO software library but keep getting this message:
E: Unable to locate package python3-w1thermsensor
E: Unable to locate package python3-spidev
I updated and upgraded my software as suggested...

Re: GP IO software
There are no such packages.
Why do you think there are packages with those names?

They are in the RPF repository and AFAICT they are only available for Raspbian Jessie.

Re: GP IO software
The instructions are here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/learning/ge ... uirements/
They call for an updated Raspbian, with instructions here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... pdating.md - this makes no mention of Wheezy / Jessie, how to tell what you have, and how to upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie
The software installation page just gives the install instructions, perhaps it could be clearer about what it is installing
My installs give (among the output)
To check package versions:
So, can you check the output of "sudo apt-get update" shows "http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ jessie/main" in the list? These are the places that the Pi is looking at to get the packages; the "apt-get update" command is updating those lists, not the software on your Pi
