This may be because you are running a different version of Python than was used to compile the Pixy Python library. |
| - | If you want Python3 support, for example, make sure that your default "python" is Python3 before running ''build_python_demos.sh''. That is, make sure that Python3 is the version of Python that runs when you type in the "python" command in your shell. You can test this by running "python --version" at the shell prompt. | + | If you want Python3 support, for example, make sure that your default "python" is Python3 before running ''build\_python\_demos.sh''.
