WA_PLUGIN_PATHS currently contains a list of filesystem paths to scan
for plugins. This is appropriate for end-user plugins, but this is
problematic for plugins distributed by a 3rd party, such as a plugin
installed from PyPI.
In those cases, the path to the sources is unknown and typically depends
on the specify Python version, local setup etc. What is constant is
Python name of the package, e.g. "lisa.wa.plugins".
Extend the input allowed in WA_PLUGIN_PATHS by trying to load entries as
a Python package name if:
* There is no filesystem path with that name
* The entry is a "relative path" (from an fs point of view)

Workload Automation
+++++++++++++++++++
Workload Automation (WA) is a framework for executing workloads and collecting
measurements on Android and Linux devices. WA includes automation for nearly 40
workloads and supports some common instrumentation (ftrace, hwmon) along with a
number of output formats.
WA is designed primarily as a developer tool/framework to facilitate data driven
development by providing a method of collecting measurements from a device in a
repeatable way.
WA is highly extensible. Most of the concrete functionality is implemented via
plug-ins, and it is easy to write new plug-ins to support new device types,
workloads, instruments or output processing.
Requirements
============
- Python 3.5+
- Linux (should work on other Unixes, but untested)
- Latest Android SDK (ANDROID_HOME must be set) for Android devices, or
- SSH for Linux devices
Installation
============
To install::
git clone git@github.com:ARM-software/workload-automation.git workload-automation
sudo -H python setup [install|develop]
Note: A `requirements.txt` is included however this is designed to be used as a
reference for known working versions rather than as part of a standard
installation.
Please refer to the `installation section <http://workload-automation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_information.html#install>`_
in the documentation for more details.
Basic Usage
===========
Please see the `Quickstart <http://workload-automation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_information.html#user-guide>`_
section of the documentation.
