Does GPIO Driving example (Python) work?

I have been looking at elinux.org/RPi_Low_Level_peripherals#GPIO and have been successful in controlling the GPIO using the Shell script example.

However I want to use Python to write a program and have not been able to get their example to work. I have downloaded the module RPiGPIO-0.4.1a.tar.gz and unzipped it into /usr/lib/python2.7 but there in no sign of the GPIO.pyc files, etc that I would expect to see. Has anyone been able to get this to work , and, if so, what do I need to do. Thanks

The RPi.GPIO module now comes standard in the latest image. (18/9).

Try using
import rpi.gpio as gpio
...on the top of your script instead of the capital version.

If you would like an updated module type:
sudo apt-get install python-rpi.gpio
or
sudo apt-get upgrade python-rpi.gpio
