Python 3 doesn't work. #110

Closed bfayers closed 6 years ago

bfayers commented 6 years ago

Using the curl setup in the README doesn't work on python3 and produced: Traceback (most recent call last): File "rainbow.py", line 6, in <module> import unicornhat as unicorn File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/unicornhat.py", line 3, in <module> from rpi_ws281x import __version__ as __rpi_ws281x__, PixelStrip, Color ImportError: cannot import name '__version__' when using import unicornhat

even a sudo pip3 install unicornhat doesn't work.

This looks like the rpi_ws281x library is out of date and not being updated, what does: pip3 freeze | grep rpi_ws281x show?

@Gadgetoid Thanks for the suggestion, didn't see this until just now

I did a sudo pip3 uninstall unicornhat and a sudo pip3 uninstall rpi_ws281x and then did the \curl -sS https://get.pimoroni.com/unicornhat | bash and now it works. Weird one, guess the rpi_ws281x just wasn't being updated.
