neopixel.py code not running correctly

[Hotke1]

I have a RP1 3b. I am trying to get it to run this software in order to run my neopixel strands. Ever time it tries to call up line 9 in the neopixel.py program it gives me a error that it can not find the rpi_ws281x file. Is there a simple way to fix this issue?

pi@Hotke1:~/rpi_ws281x/python $ sudo python strandtest.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "strandtest.py", line 9, in
from neopixel import *
File "/home/pi/rpi_ws281x/python/neopixel.py", line 5, in
import _rpi_ws281x as ws
ImportError: No module named _rpi_ws281x

Same here

sudo pip install rpi_ws281x
or
sudo pip3 install rpi_ws281x
?

You should not be using from neopixel import * in any code intending to use the RPi ws281x Python bindings. Rather, use from rpi_ws281x import *.
