RPIO install error

[pipeult]

Hello,

I use a RPi3 and piCore 8.15
I have just installed the extension python3.6.tcz on a fresh install (from scratch)
The extension Python-RPi.GPIO.tcz does not allow to manage TCP socket interrupts.
So, I used pip3.6 to install RPIO (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/RPIO/0.10.0) who allows it
This is what I get in turn:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:/usr/local/bin$ sudo pip3.6 install RPIO

Any solution ?

Did you try 2.7?

[pipeult]

no as my work is with 3.6

Hello,

Having looked for a long time, here is how my installation of RPIO succeeded:
- a fresh piCore 8.15 install
- a fresh python2.7 install
- and the command   "pip install https://github.com/metachris/RPIO/archive/v2.zip"

Solve two problems:
- UnicodeDecodeError
- SystemError: This module can only be run on a Raspberry Pi! (normal version don't like RPi3, the v2 yes)

Thanks to the RPIO's issuers and metachris
Thanks Béla
