DHT11 sensor with Beaglebone black using python

[karthi geyan]

Hi . I tried to learn python programming to use the hardware interfacing in Beaglebone Black. I am building a weather station, so i need to read data from DHT11 sensor using BBB in python.  I tried http://www.uugear.com/portfolio/dht11-humidity-temperature-sensor-module/ this by converting the code for Beaglebone but i get some error.  Give me shome suggestions and help me?

A cut&paste of whatever "some error" would be useful. You don't even
mention if you are trying Python or C language (or even a port to
BoneScript).

He did specifically say Python. Some code or the error would be helpful, you have not given us anything to go on.

Just a word of caution, DHTxx or requivalent AMxxxx type sensors don't
have very good accuracy.

I've been using BME280 and BME180 for humidity/temperature/pressure
measurements with good success.

The BME280/180 use i2c, which is easier to work with, contrasting with
the DHTxx that need precise timing for their proprietary protocol.

Okay -- I did miss the lowercase snake... The link had a page with both
languages... The C code looked to be using an Arduino-compatible library...

From what little I've read on the BBB, I wouldn't want to do any
protocol that needed bit-banging without somehow learning to load the
PRUs... I'm more likely to hook the sensor to an Uno, and use a serial port
to relay readings to the BBB <G>
