I've installed RPIO library to my RPI following these instructions:

$ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
$ sudo easy_install -U RPIO

I'm trying to run this code (test.py):

from RPIO import PWM
servo = PWM.Servo()
servo.set_servo(7,1000)
servo.stop_servo(7)

using sudo python test.py it works, but using sudo python3 test.py it displays: ImportError: No module named RPIO

In the Documentation is written that we can use the library both in Python 2 and 3. Any idea?

The library needs to be installed for Python 3. The two Python versions 2.7 and 3.x don't share packages (because most code written for Python 3 is not backward compatible.

To install the RPIO library for Python 3 do the following: 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
sudo easy_install3 -U RPIO
