Is there a way to fix this script to get it working on Recalbox 9.x?
The script you downloaded from Argon40 must intended for at least 2 generations before Recalbox 9, maybe 6 or 7 - I don’t know the release cycle.
The main problem is not Python itself at the moment, here I or other users could help you too. The main problem is whose customization (to include only the needed things and get it small) of Recalbox 8/9.
If there is no support for Python3 libraries included in the Recalbox image, you cannot use a Python script. A newer one doesn’t change anything.
The only alternative would be a bash script, if tools like pinctrl or gpioget/gpioset, i2cset, i2cget are available. It seems you have a working installation on your SD card, so you could check via SSH if the commands available or not.
The maintainers of Recalbox seem to have decided 2 years ago that they will use their own implementation of fan control (recalbox-wpaf). That’s why maintenance (add support for RPi5/Argon ONE V3) is their responsibility now.
If you are only interested in fan control, you could also disconnect the fan cabel from the case pcb and attach it to the RPi5 pcb directly. Modern linux kernels support that and you can use the kernel integrated fan control.
