Hello,
I'm approaching to IoPi by using tutorial1.py.
When i run command python tutorial1.py, this error is raised:
self._bus.write_byte_data(self.address, self.IOCON, self.config)AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'write_byte_data'
I didn't edit the library file, i've only run this command.
I use python 2.
Can you help me?
Many thanks
BR

Hello
The error that you are getting could mean that the raspberry pi is having trouble communicating with the IO Pi using the I2C bus.
Have you followed our tutorial on setting up I2C on the Raspberry Pi? It may be worth going through the steps in the tutorial to check that everything is installed correctly.
Try running the command "i2cdetect -y 1". This will bring up a list of all I2C devices on the Raspberry Pi. The IO Pi should show up on channels 20 and 21.

I'm sort of having the same issue. Actually tutorial1.py works perfect running python from the console.
However, when we use the same code from an apache webserver page (which is a python file) we also get the same error
self._bus.write_byte_data(self.address, self.IOCON, self.config)AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'write_byte_data'
'i2cdetect revealed that we can infact see the bus and that we can infact see the one card we have installed?
Any thoughts?

It could be a permissions problem that is stopping apache from seeing the i2c bus. Have you tried adding apache to the i2c user group? If not you can do it using the following command.
sudo adduser www-data i2c
Once you have added apache to the group you will need to restart apache before running any python scripts.
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Hopefully, this will fix your problem.
