Install location question #33

Closed Phr3d13 closed 1 year ago

Phr3d13 commented 4 years ago

Does this install method/repo install to the same location as the old repo (https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x/tree/master/python)? I didn't read the readme until after I followed an old guide for the old repo's method of building/installing (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53045343/adafruit-raspberry-pi-neopixel-library-throws-error-importerror-no-module-name).

The use of the neopixel library name has been deprecated since version 4.0.0 (see #8) and this library installs as rpi_ws281x.

Similarly the Python bindings in jgarff's library are considered deprecated in favour of this library ( at least by me ), and they install as- IIRC- adafruit_neopixel.
