neopixel - no module named neopixel

[RyDanClemens]

I couldn't get my ws2812b strip to run through the enclosure plugin. They work just fine when testing it out through the ws281x library alone. I made all the changes you mentioned in 172 and no luck. I think went tried the test script you wrote in 143 and it kicked back:

ImportError: No module named neopixel

A little google-foo turns up that the neopixel module has been deprecated and is now being called rpi_ws281x. Ws281x Issue 290

I installed pip, then ran sudo pip install rpi_ws281x

then used nano to update the test script to reference rpi_ws281x instead of neopixel in the first line
ran the script, all was happy with the script.

But I still cant get the actual enclosure plugin to do anything with the strip... I thought I updated the direct neopixel.py too but not seeing anything so far. suggestions?

actually... I had turned off sudo originally and had forgotten to turn it back on. So looks like installing the new python library and updating the module reference is all that is needed... if I can figure out github in the morning I'll submit a commit with the module changes. I'm not totally sure on how to handle the updated install of the modules though from your installation standpoint.

I'll check this out when I have time, I changed jobs recently and it's being crazy, and I'm also going out on vacations for 30 days so it will be very difficult to check this this year....
