AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘GPIO’

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1- download release 0.7.9 source code
2- perform install through : sudo ./setup.sh
3- run old project that was using version 0.6.2

The upgrade / installation finished successfully .. when I tried to run the 
project I was working on I got this weird error:

WebIOPi version used?
=> 0.7.0

Python version used?
=> 2.7.6

Distro used? (WebIOPi has only been tested on Raspbian Wheezy)
=> Raspbian Wheezy

Raspberry Pi board revision? (1 or 2)
=> 1 and 2

For Javascript side bugs, Browser?
=> No

Please provide any additional information below.

when running the server: sudo webiopi -c /etc/webiopi/config -d

Module structure has slightly been reorganized from 0.6.2 to 0.7.0 release. For 
that, 0.6.2 custom Python server scripts don't run eventuelly properly due to 
module import errors. Please look at the 0.7.0 server script examples and adapt 
your script (nainly imports) to the changed module structures and then it will 
run again.

Actually .. I used the exact server script on the site (0.7.0) ..

Are you sure that the compiling of the native C interface module of WebIOPi for 
the native GPIO ports really succeeded? It looks like that is missing for some 
reason.
Maybe your Distro is missing the gcc or something else went wrong.

Re-run the setup script and watch out for errors when compiling the native C 
code parts.

I had this issue and found a fix after hours of installing/unistalling webiopi

cd 
/usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages/WebIOPi-0.7.0-py3.2-linux-armv61.egg/_web
iopi/

In this directory I was missing the file __init__.py
if you are missing it too, create it in nano and add the line:
__import__("pkg_resources").declare_namespace(__name__)

save and exit and try running your webiopi again.

note the double underscores, kinda looks like just one to me but they are 
doubles

I'm still getting this issue, is there any workaround to solve it? I have 
checked the specified path by Harry and I have the file right in place with the 
corresponding code but still when trying to import it into my custom python 
script I'm getting that error.

In the end managed to solve it by reinstall the OS and Webiopi :)

I'm experiencing this as well, not sure what is going wrong. Is it possible to 
force webiopi to use specific python version?

i had the same error for WebIOPi-0.7.1. this error raised because WebIOPi-0.7.1 
need python3
just add --> #!/usr/bin/python3 <-- at your python script. 

this my test1.py script :

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import webiopi
import time

GPIO = webiopi.GPIO

LIGHT = 17

GPIO.setFunction(LIGHT, GPIO.OUT)

GPIO.digitalWrite(LIGHT, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(1)
GPIO.digitalWrite(LIGHT, GPIO.LOW)

run with --> #python test1.py and python3 test1.py 
see the different
