docs: bring some order to our Python module hierarchy

2025-11-18T16:22:40+00:00

Now that we have tools/lib/python for our Python modules, turn them into proper packages with a single namespace so that everything can just use tools/lib/python in sys.path. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet Message-ID: <20251110220430.726665-3-corbet@lwn.net>

docs: Move the python libraries to tools/lib/python

2025-11-18T16:22:40+00:00

"scripts/lib" was always a bit of an awkward place for Python modules. We already have tools/lib; create a tools/lib/python, move the libraries there, and update the users accordingly. While at it, move the contents of tools/docs/lib. Rather than make another directory, just put these documentation-oriented modules under "kdoc".

tools/docs/get_abi.py: fix get_abi library directory

2025-11-10T19:45:46+00:00

changeset a5dd93016f20 ("docs: move get_abi.py to tools/docs") moved the script location, but didn't update library location, causing it to fail.

docs: move get_abi.py to tools/docs

2025-10-28T22:01:20+00:00

Move this tool out of scripts/ to join the other documentation tools; fix up a couple of erroneous references in the process. It's worth noting that this script will fail badly unless one has a PYTHONPATH referencing scripts/lib/abi. Reviewed-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Acked-by: Jani Nikula Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet
