+Note on $OVS_PYTHON_LIBS_PATH
+=============================
+
+$OVS_PYTHON_LIBS_PATH should point to the directory where Open vSwitch
+python modules are installed.  If you installed Open vSwitch python
+modules via the debian package of 'python-openvswitch' or via pip by
+running 'pip install python-openvswitch', you do not need to specify the
+path.  If you installed it by following the instructions in INSTALL.md, you
+should specify the path.  The path in that case depends on the options passed
+to ./configure.  (It is usually either '/usr/share/openvswitch/python' or
+'/usr/local/share/openvswitch/python'.)
