Pretty much, yeah. The Python syntax to do that is probably: import ws2812 although a glance at the examples suggests that the package might be called "neopixel" instead, which is a bit surprising. You may be able to skip the download and compilation steps and just run this: python3 -m pip install rpi_ws281x I don't know anything about the library itself, but that's the normal way to install more Python packages. You can find a full list of packages you can install that way here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi There's a lot of them :) Enjoy! ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
