Trouble Installing Python API on Raspberry Pi

Hi,

I am new to the Pixy 2 and Raspberry Pis in general. In trying to get the Pixy 2 working with my Raspberry Pi 3, I was able to successfully follow this tutorial (https://docs.pixycam.com/wiki/doku.php id=wiki%3Av2%3Abuilding_libpixyusb_as_a_python_module_on_linux) up until building the Pixy2 SWIG module - it output a success message, but it never actually created the build directory. I’m able to run the example projects like the 2.3.1. Color Identification Example (GetBlocksCPPDemo) perfectly, but as soon as I try to write my own files to run I can’t properly import the Pixy module.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I’m working on a Raspberry Pi 3 with Python 3.13.5 installed. Thank you!
