9 months ago Sorry, I hadn't noticed that it was added with Python 3.0 in commit 6d869575170d479614534e47154d01672eb9cc06.
However, similar information is also provided in: https://github.com/opentap/OpenTap.Python/blob/5355d7b01959f2c1235b90c8550c91be5e754c0a/Documentation/TAP_Python_Help/Getting_Started.md?plain=1#L25-L33
And the paths shown there are a good hint to where the files may be located, as opposed to: https://github.com/opentap/OpenTap.Python/blob/5355d7b01959f2c1235b90c8550c91be5e754c0a/Documentation/TAP_Python_Help/Virtual_Environments.md?plain=1#L1-L11 which is a little bit less informative, and contains a typo (set-library-path instead of set-lib-path).
So the two files may just be merged as follows:

index 84724113..a5c892e7 100644
