Unable to import qwiic

Qwiic System

I’m unable to import the qwiic library.

Python 3.10.4 (main, Jun 29 2022, 12:14:53) [GCC 11.2.0] on linux

Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.

import qwiic

Error loading module ublox_gps: No module named ‘serial’

I’m on Ubuntu:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu

Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

Release: 22.04

Codename: jammy

Using a RiPi400 with a Qwiic pHat connected to the Ambient Light Sensor.

Try to uninstall/reinstall/install pyserial and see how that goes after

Also ensure GPIO is enabled in raspi config

so I reinstalled pysersial, but then I got:

import qwiic

Error loading module ublox_gps: No module named ‘spidev’

then trying to install pydev:

@rpi400:~/projects/qwiic$ pip3 install spidev

Collecting spidev

Downloading spidev-3.5.tar.gz (10 kB)

Preparing metadata (setup.py) … done

Using legacy ‘setup.py install’ for spidev, since package ‘wheel’ is not installed.

Installing collected packages: spidev

Running setup.py install for spidev … error

error: subprocess-exited-with-error

yes, both I2c and serial are enabled via raspi-config
