I created a virtual environment in raspberry pi 5 to handle servo motors with a servo driver hat B, and installed adafruit_blinka and manually installed libgpiod with sudo apt install -y python3-libgpiod because of an error but now i am getting this error below
(venv) pi@raspberrypi:~/Desktop/Codes/servo_env $ python3 servo_test.py
ImportError
The way you created your virtual environment for this project is probably critical.
The Raspberry Pi documentation is here - https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentati ... spberry-pi
You probably need to heed the highlighted Note:
NOTE
If you want to inherit the currently installed packages from the system Python, you should create your virtual environment using python -m venv --system-site-packages env.
libgpiod is indeed an instance where you might "want to inherit the currently installed packages from the system Python"
{Edit: Added later...}
Demonstration of the effect of this option -
