    Moin,
    Using an RPi4B with Raspbian Buster and Python 3.

    from RPi._GPIO import *
    RuntimeError: This module can only be run on a Raspberry Pi!

    <CTRL-D>

    Why?
    Because this Pi is running My Home Automation and Buster is marked as LTE. Never change a running system ;-)



    Whats going on, whats wrong can someone help, please?

    No longer supported OS, probably, and new developments making old stuff

    incompatible. Also, rpi.gpio is not gpiozero. See https://gpiozero.readthedocs.io/en/stable/migrating_from_rpigpio.html

    I know, but during searching internet, some hints are to install gpiozero.

    Debian perhaps, but Raspberry Pi OS abandons old versions quickly.

    I know, but during searching internet, some hints are to install gpiozero.

    All hints should say that. Switch now or be left behind. Main thing however
    is to install a new OS on a fresh SD card or disk and try out that. I
    repeat: Raspberry Pi OS is not Debian!
