So, since this works, it confirms that your babeltrace build has support
for Python plugins.  Then there's no reason for your original example
using babeltrace-fun-plugins/my-first-components not to work.

When running the command:

  babeltrace2 --plugin-path . -c source.demo.MyFirstSource -c sink.demo.MyFirstSink

is your working directory babeltrace-fun-plugins/my-first-component?
`--plugin-path .` refers to the current working directory, so it must be
the directory that directly contains the `bt_plugin_*.py` file.

I made an example with docker to show it working, hopefully this can
help you figure out what's wrong on your side.  Put this inside a
`Dockerfile` file:

```
FROM debian:12

RUN apt-get -y update
RUN apt-get -y full-upgrade
RUN apt-get -y install babeltrace2 git
RUN git clone https://github.com/simark/babeltrace-fun-plugins.git
WORKDIR /babeltrace-fun-plugins/my-first-components
ENTRYPOINT babeltrace2 --plugin-path . -c source.demo.MyFirstSource -c sink.demo.MyFirstSink
```

Then, do either (whatever works for you):

  $ docker buildx build -t bt2-example .
  $ docker build -t bt2-example .

And finally:

  $ docker run -it bt2-example
  Stream beginning
  event my-event, timestamp 123
  Stream end

This last command runs babeltrace2, loading the Python plugin from
babeltrace-fun-plugins/my-first-components.

Finally, to investigate more in depth, you can increase the log level of
babeltrace2, like so:

  $ babeltrace2 --log-level DEBUG --plugin-path . -c source.demo.MyFirstSource -c sink.demo.MyFirstSink

This will output all sorts of things about babeltrace looking for
plugins and trying to load them.
