Trying to follow the enviroplus tutorial but get stuck here:
## Using the Python library
The Enviro+ Python library has several parts to it and, in fact, most of the parts are in separate Python libraries that you have to import on their own. The installer ( `install.sh` script) should install all of these other libraries for you.
Let’s go through each part of the library (libraries) in turn.
Open a terminal and type `python` to start a Python prompt.
### BME280 weather sensor
Let’s import some bits we need from the `smbus2` (we’ll need that to talk to the BME280) and the `bme280` libraries and create an instance of the BME280 class (it contains all of the functions to read data from the sensor) first. Type:
```auto
from smbus2 import SMBus
from bme280 import BME280
bus = SMBus(1)
bme280 = BME280(i2c_dev=bus)
```
Get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “temperature-forced-mode.py”, line 8, in
from bme280 import BME280
ImportError: cannot import name BME280

I’m on my PC at the moment so I can’t actually do this myself.
Try running python3 instead of python in the terminal window. It might just be a python 2 versus python 3 thing. python usually calls up python 2 while python3 calls up python 3.
