Python • I have installed pyenv and get "No module named 'RPi'"...

I try to follow the install from the book "Build Your Own Robot", it include a Crickit Hat and the virtualenvironment from Python, pyenv. I get this message and do not know what's wrong.

The last line do not find "RPi module"? What is that and what is wrong?

>>> from adafruit_crickit import crickit

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'RPi'


When I check "pyvenv.cfg" I get this:

(pyenv) danne@RPi-robot:~/pyenv $ cat pyvenv.cfg
home = /usr/bin
include-system-site-packages = false
version = 3.11.2
executable = /usr/bin/python3.11
command = /usr/bin/python3 -m venv /home/danne/pyenv


Can any body help me!
