You don't need any garbage 3rd party packages. Just use ctypes.

Read the documentation for ctypes. You can use any native object in Python the way you do in C using ctypes.

Whatever you do, don't trust some god-forsaken 3rd party package. I think people have forgotten to be clever and resourceful these days. A binary object is itself a package, why would you use s another package to communicate with it?

Here's how you can import libc into Python:

from ctypes import CDLL

libc = CDLL(None)

Just pass it path to the binary object that holds the symbols for GPIO.

Some tricks. Here's how you can use libc to make a syscall in Python:

libc = CDLL(None)

TIME_NR = <syscall nr for time(2) on your arch>

libc.syscall(TIME_NR)
