Installed Wrong Version of WiringPi How To Remove

[JonnyAlpha]

Hi;

As its says in the title I think I installed the wrong version of wiring Pi.

I followed the instruction here:
http://wiringpi.com/download-and-install/
and installed wiring pi from here:
git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi

I checked the installation following the instruction on the download page and all seemed fine
I created a simple python program but keep getting the error:
ImportError: No module named wiringpi

I did a google search and found this:

Have I installed the c version and not the Python version?

If so how do I remove the c version from my Pi?

Thanks - is it safe to rm the directories that I already installed?

Don't bother, you need the C/C++ WiringPi libraries as a pre-requisite for the python stuff you're trying to install.

BTW, I wouldn't use the python WiringPi library, you'll get better support (it's more common) and easier results (because Ben Croston did a good job) with RPi.GPIO which is already included in the base code for a Raspbian (or NOOBS/Raspbian) install.
