After installing ledcontrol and then attempting to run i get the following:

user@abyssbar:~/led-control $ sudo ledcontrol --led_count 69 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/ledcontrol", line 33, in <module> sys.exit(load_entry_point('led-control', 'console_scripts', 'ledcontrol')()) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/local/bin/ledcontrol", line 25, in importlib_load_entry_point return next(matches).load() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.11/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 202, in load module = import_module(match.group('module')) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.11/importlib/__init__.py", line 126, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1206, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1178, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1149, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 690, in _load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 940, in exec_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 241, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/home/user/led-control/ledcontrol/__init__.py", line 5, in <module> from ledcontrol.app import create_app File "/home/user/led-control/ledcontrol/app.py", line 11, in <module> from ledcontrol.animationcontroller import AnimationController File "/home/user/led-control/ledcontrol/animationcontroller.py", line 14, in <module> import ledcontrol.animationfunctions as animfunctions File "/home/user/led-control/ledcontrol/animationfunctions.py", line 7, in <module> import ledcontrol.driver as driver File "/home/user/led-control/ledcontrol/driver/__init__.py", line 17, in <module> from _ledcontrol_rpi_ws281x_driver import * ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_ledcontrol_rpi_ws281x_driver'

Which seems that the module is not built, I did build the module after the initial installation using swig -python ./ledcontrol/driver/ledcontrol_rpi_ws281x_driver.i && sudo python3 setup.py develop and it was successful. Any ideas what might be going on here?
