I installed latest LimeSuite NG and was able to run “SoapySDRUtil --info”, but when I tried to run the following Python code, I got the following error. What do I need to run the Python code for Soapy SDR? Thanks in advance for help.

python3  
Python 3.8.10 (default, Jul 29 2024, 17:02:10)  
[GCC 9.4.0] on linux  
Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.

You should check if your python is looking in the right directories where SoapySDR is installed: [ImportError: No module named 'SoapySDR' · Issue #143 · pothosware/SoapySDR · GitHub](https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDR/issues/143#issuecomment-338331545)

It’s strange that I found SoapySDR was installed under “/usr/local/lib”. I copied the folder to “/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages” and was able to import it to Python.
