SystemError: This module can only be run on a Raspberry Pi!

Hi everyone

i tried to run the example3_pwm_servo.py on my Raspberry 3B+ and it gave me the following error when trying to launch the python file :

Traceback (most recent call last): File "example3_pwm_servo.py", line 1, in <module> from RPIO import PWM File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/RPIO/__init__.py", line 115, in <module> import RPIO._GPIO as _GPIO SystemError: This module can only be run on a Raspberry Pi!

Could it be that this has to do with using the Rpi 3B+?
I looked through issues #78 #53 #86 and #106 and tried the solutions that were proposed and verified in there but they did not help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

by using the pigpio library from here http://abyz.me.uk/rpi/pigpio/index.html i got it to work without any jitter on the servo, think this makes quite a good alternative for all who are struggling with this library.
maybe you guys want to check it out as well

I use RPIO version 2. This problem is still exists.
