+## Ctrl-C when using Git/MSYS Bash on Windows
 VUnit will catch Ctrl-C and perform a clean shutdown closing all started simulation processes and printing the test report so far. On Git/MSYS Bash on Windows however there is a mechanism that hard kills a process a very short time after pressing Ctrl-C often prohibiting VUnit from completing its shutdown. This can leave simulation process open which have to be manually killed. See this [stack overflow post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23678045/control-c-kills-ipython-in-git-bash-on-windows-7) for tips on how to remove this mechanism.

+## Making VUnit importable
+To be able to import VUnit in your `run.py` script you need to make it visible to Python or else the following error occurs:
+```console
+Traceback (most recent call last): 
+   File "run.py", line 2, in <module> 
+     from vunit import VUnit 
+ImportError: No module named vunit 
+```
+
+There are two methods to make VUnit importable in your `run.py` script:
+
+1. Set the `PYTHONPATH` environment variable to include the path to the VUnit root directory containing this user guide. Note that you shouldn't point to the vunit directory within the root directory.
+
+2. Add a `import sys; sys.path.append("/path/to/vunit_root/")` statement in your `run.py` file **before** the `import vunit` statement.
