+### Python Issues
+
+**PythonLink Path Resolution**
+- Relative paths in `PythonLink()` are converted to absolute paths automatically
+- Use paths relative to the test working directory
+- The test framework resolves paths before passing to `pip install -e`
+
+**Python Environment Detection**
+- The library prefers `python3` command, then falls back to `python`
+- Uses `python3 -m pip install -e <path>` for installation (falls back to `python` if `python3` is not available)
+- Ensure the Python interpreter used matches the one configured in your Pulumi program
+
+**Package Not Found After PythonLink**
+- Error: Pulumi program fails with `ModuleNotFoundError` despite `PythonLink()`
+- Solution: Verify the test Python environment matches the Pulumi program's Python environment
+- Check installed packages: `python3 -m pip list | grep <package-name>`
+- Ensure virtual environment is activated before running tests if your program uses one
+
+**Editable Install Issues**
+- Error: `error: invalid command 'develop'` or setup.py errors
+- Solution: Ensure the package directory has a valid `setup.py` or `pyproject.toml`
+- `PythonLink()` expects a package directory, not a Python file
+
+**Common Test Failures**
+- `pulumi install` fails: Unrelated to `PythonLink`; check `requirements.txt` in your Pulumi program
+- Import errors with local SDK: The editable install creates symlinks; ensure no version conflicts
+- Test passes but program fails: Python environments differ between test and Pulumi execution

+### Python - Local Package Installation
+
+For Python, we support installing local packages in editable mode via `pip install -e`. This allows using a local build of the Python SDK during testing. Before running your test, ensure your Python environment is properly configured (typically within a virtual environment).
+
+The local package installation can be specified using the `PythonLink` test option:
+
+```go
+NewPulumiTest(t, "test_dir", opttest.PythonLink("../sdk/python"))
+```
+
+Multiple packages can be specified:
+
+```go
+NewPulumiTest(t, "test_dir",
+  opttest.PythonLink("../sdk/python", "../other-sdk/python"))
+```
