SMBUS 'no such file or directory' - hcccs - Jan-31-2021

Running this little example

import  I2C_LCD_driver 
from time import *
mylcd = I2C_LCD_drive.lcd()
mylcd.lcd_display_string("Hello Python!", 1)

I get this error in I2C_LCD_driver.py taken from https://www.circuitbasics.com/raspberry-pi-i2c-lcd-set-up-and-programming/

Error:Python 3.7.3 (/usr/bin/python3)

Try to install smbus

Output:
sudo apt-get install python3-smbus

Or perhaps install it from pypi

Output:
python3.7 -m pip install smbus

It's already installed.

Solved! I changed the portnumber from 0 to 1

Output:
smbus.SMBUS(1)
