Putting
print.pixels.fill((0, 0, 0))
sleep(2)
print.pixels.fill((0, 0, 255))
print.pixels.show()

produces this error:
  File "ledstest.py", line 6, in 
     print.pixels.fill((0, 0, 0))
AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute
'pixels'

But as I said, the script runs perfectly well in a terminal on the pi
desktop
