Python • Re: 7. segment clock python script not looping on fresh Bookworm install

We see from GitHub that tm1637 library depends on the RPi.GPIO library that does not work on a Pi5 (Pi5 has different IO chip)

Code:

 install_requires=['RPi.GPIO']

So probably it won’t work.

I'm actually using the same Pi3 that I was using with the Buster install where it worked. I just got a new microSD card and installed Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm on it.

I installed RPi.GPIO with pip but that didn't make any changes. I feel like the GPIO communication is working fine as it sets the correct current time when it runs, it just never updates the time with the new minute as time marches on.
