Beginners • Getting started with Sequent Microsystems Hats

I'm working with the following Sequent Microsystems expansion hat:
https://sequentmicrosystems.com/product ... spberry-pi

And I'm having trouble getting their Python library installed in a way that is accessible to Python scripts in general.

I've followed the instructions they provide, and once I do so I'm able to run functions from their __init__.py script. I also get the results I expect after a successful install, after typing in the command window, megaind -h.

For context, here's their installation instructions:

Plug your card on top of your Raspberry Pi and power up the system
Enable I2C communication on Raspberry Pi using raspi-config.
Install the software from github.com:
~$ git clone https://github.com/SequentMicrosystems/megaind-rpi.git
~$ cd /home/pi/megaind-rpi
~/megaind-rpi$ sudo make install
~/megaind-rpi$ megaind

However, when I try importing their library into my own Python script, I get an error that indicates the module isn't found. Even when I import sys and os, and append the path to the folder structure with , in advance of calling the import command.

pip install and apt install also has trouble finding the module.

Any suggestions on how to resolve it? Is there a certain folder I should be using for the library, instead of the default:
/home/pi/megaind-rpi
