1. What version of Node-RED are you using?
2. Are you using `node-red-node-pi-sense-hat` to talk to the sense hat? If not how are you communicating?
3. please export your flow and attach it to a reply

I am using "getting started with sense hat", the same commands are in Dogan Ibrahim's book Basic to Advance Projects. They both give three commands that are supposed to display text on the sense hat. When I compile them I get the error on the first quotation in the message command;  
from sense\_hat import SenseHat  
sense = SenseHat()  
sense.show\_message("Hello world")

Found the problem. Bullseye does not have python 2 installed.

Thank you.
