I'm more interested on having a single place where python libraries
could be placed.

Me too, especially for selftests. But it's not clear to me that
scripts/ is the right location. I thought purely user space code
should live in tools/ and bulk of YNL is for user space.

I've been out wandering the woods and canyons with no connectivity for a
bit, so missed this whole discussion, sorry.

Mauro and I had talked about the proper home for Python libraries when
he reworked kernel-doc; we ended up with them under scripts/, which I
didn't find entirely pleasing.  If you were to ask me today, I'd say
they should be under lib/python, but tomorrow I might say something
else...

In truth, I don't think it matters much, but I *do* think we should have
a single location from which to import kernel-specific Python code.
Spreading it throughout the tree just isn't going to lead to joy.

Thanks,
