Relatively new to RPi and very new to IO Pi Plus!When I run tutorial1.py from the directory /home/pi/ABElectronics_Python3_libraries all goes well. However when I copy tutorial1.py to /home/pi (where the rest of the programs I have written sit) I get ImportError: No module named ABE_helpers.Is this to be expected? How do run programs I write for the IO Pi Plus in my normal directory?I'm running Wheezy & Python 3.2.3 on a Pi B+Thanks

Hi

Try copying the ABE_helpers.py and ABE_IoPi.py scripts into the /home/pi folder.

Alternatively, if you want to keep the IO Pi library in its existing folder you can use a pythonpath to tell python where to look for the files. We have a tutorial in our knowledgebase which explains how to use python paths.
