how to access the gpio pins in python? (nanopi)

Hi,

is there a way to access all the gpio pins programmatically using python?
My device: nanopi air. I can use the pins with the original OS (I think via RPi.GPIO or something).
I can use the gpio command in terminal, it shows me something like this:

root@DietPi:~# gpio readall

so I guess DietPi recognized the pins correctly?

Here is a simple test code (found on the nanopi developer)

#!/usr/bin/env python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
PIN_NUM = 7
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(PIN_NUM,GPIO.OUT)
while True:
    GPIO.output(PIN_NUM,True)
    time.sleep(1)
    GPIO.output(PIN_NUM,False)
    time.sleep(1)

When I installed the RPi.GPIO (via pip) and tried to use that module, I get:

root@DietPi:~# python3 gpio.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gpio.py", line 2, in <module>
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/RPi/GPIO/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
from RPi._GPIO import *
RuntimeError: This module can only be run on a Raspberry Pi!

I tried it also with python2.
Any idea how I could use these ports in python or some other language?

RPi.GPIO is a Python library of functions that only work with the RPi configuration of ports. You import it into a Python program and it simplifies the handling of GPIO. It is not directly related to any bash functions (like gpio readall) that may be executed from the linux command line.
