I am having a major issue with the GPIO in virtual env

Question

When I run this code outside my virtual environment, it works. However, when I try to run it inside my virtual env I receive an error. I googled, and ChatGPT for hours. No success. Any thoughts?

Code ran:

from gpiozero import LED
from time import sleep
from signal import signal, SIGTERM, SIGHUP, pause

def safe_exit(signum, frame):
    exit(1)

red = LED(26)

def flashingLights():
    while True:
        red.on()

Error received

Answer 1

The code you provided did not allow me to repeat the error you received.

Try to do this:

red = LED('GPIO26')

But I'm confused by your requirement file, it's too colorful !?

I would do so:

1. deactivated venv
2. deleted the venv folder
3. reinstalled the dependencies required for this project
4. created a new requirements file

The hygiene of the virtual environment is very important...

Good luck!
