MCP23017 python 3 library with interrupts / smbus python 3

Install smbus for python 3 on the Raspberry Pi

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install python3-dev gcc

wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/i2c-tools/i2c-tools_3.1.1.orig.tar.bz2

tar -xf i2c-tools_3.1.1.orig.tar.bz2

cd i2c-tools-3.1.1/py-smbus

cp smbusmodule.c smbusmodule.c.orig # make backup

Use the code below to replace the contents of smbusmodule.c

Download a 2.x version of lm-sensors from http://lm-sensors.org/wiki/Download and unpack it. (I had some issues trying to use tar or Xarchiver on my Pi, but managed just fine using 7-Zip on a PC).

Copy ./lm_sensors-2.10.8/kernel/include/i2c-dev.h to the directory containing your modified smbusmodule.c, such as ./i2c-tools-3.1.1/py-smbus/

Run the following commands from within the ./i2c-tools-3.1.1/py-smbus directory

python3 setup.py build

sudo python3 setup.py install

#!c
