Suggested RPi aarch64 Python GPIO library?

What is the suggested RPi aarch64 Python GPIO library to use and how to set it up?


I tried pip install RPi.GPIO without any success:

[code]
$ uname -a
Linux pi3p2 6.8.9-1-aarch64-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat May 4 06:41:28 MDT 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux
$ python3

>>> import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

You need to use the linux-rpi kernel instead of mainline.

Thanks, is there an image or tar file containing the linux-rpi kernel available for download anywhere?

Package in the official repos:

pacman -S linux-rpi
