Virtual environment does not find spidev module [solved]

[Romy Bompart]

Hi people,
I was working outside of my virtual environment initially.
Then, I decided to move into a virtual env that I have already created, since I have to use OpenCv with some python3 dependencies already configured there. Then, when I ran the same .py that I was running before (outside of my env) I got a message:

 import spidev

ImportError: No module name 'spidev'

When I wrote: pip freeze, I noticed that my spi-dev module was not registered here.

-----Work around:

1. I tried to install it again using>>
   sudo apt-get install sudo apt-get install python-dev
   mkdir python-spi
   cd python-spi
   wget https://raw.github.com/doceme/py-spidev/master/setup.py
   wget https://raw.github.com/doceme/py-spidev/master/spidev_module.c
   sudo python setup.py install
2. I tried to run:
   sudo pip3 install spidev
3. I tried to check if this has to do with the site-packages/ because in my virtual env I can see there is no spi-dev whereas outside of the virtual env the dist-package/ folder has spidev folder.

-----Solution
Then: Yes, I just copied those spidev files/folders into my virtual env corresponding folder.
Outside of my virtual env:

cd /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages
sudo cp -r spidev* ~/.virtualenvs/cv/lib/python3.5/site-packages

I hope if you have experienced this issue and fix it in another way, please let me know.
If you are having the same issue as I had and this worked for you please me know as well.
