Set your PYTHONPATH environment variable to include this source + directory, e.g. ``~/src/qemu/python``. See + https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONPATH + +2. Inside a Python script, use ``sys.path`` to forcibly include a search + path prior to importing the ``qemu`` namespace. See + https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.path + +A strong downside to both approaches is that they generally interfere +with static analysis tools being able to locate and analyze the code +being imported. + +Package installation also normally provides executable console scripts, +so that tools like ``qmp-shell`` are always available via $PATH. To +invoke them without installation, you can invoke e.g.: + +``> PYTHONPATH=~/src/qemu/python python3 -m qemu.qmp.qmp_shell`` + +The mappings between console script name and python module path can be +found in ``setup.cfg``. + + Files in this directory ----------------------- -- 2.31.1
