Trouble shooting

When you get an error like one of the following errors: 

tiepie@tiepie-pc:~/TiePie> python3 OscilloscopeBlock.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "OscilloscopeBlock.py", line 11, in 
    import libtiepie
ImportError: dynamic module does not define module export function (PyInit_libtiepie)

Python tries to load the LibTiePie SDK as Python module.

To avoid that, make sure libtiepie.so doesn't exist in the script's directory.
