I'm running daemon python file in virtualenv and has a Error: 

File "rpi_daemon.py", line 5, in <module>
    import RPIO
  File "/home/pi/python_virtualenv/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!

So what should I do? I'm use raspberry pi3 model B, I'm not a native English speaker, so I'm sorry for every mistake.

The standard release of RPIO does not support the Pi Zero, Pi2, or Pi3.

You will need to build RPIO from the github of RPIO version 2.

https://github.com/metachris/RPIO/tree/v2

Go to that github choose Clone or download and select Download ZIP.

Then do the following on the Pi where you saved the ZIP.

sudo apt-get install python-dev python3-dev
unzip RPIO-2.zip
cd RPIO-2/
sudo python setup.py install
sudo python3 setup.py install

This worked for me on my RPi 4B. Just ensure you have the last version of RPi.GPIO but installed from pip (it was newer) than apt-get:

Remove current RPi.GPIO versions:

sudo apt-get purge python{,3}-rpi.gpio

Update pip first:

sudo -H pip2 install --upgrade pip
sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade pip

Install RPi.GPIO from updated pip:

python -m pip install RPi.GPIO
python3 -m pip install RPi.GPIO
