@@ -59,7 +59,7 @@ Package installation also normally provides executable console scripts,
 so that tools like ``qmp-shell`` are always available via $PATH. To
 invoke them without installation, you can invoke e.g.:
 
-``> PYTHONPATH=~/src/qemu/python python3 -m qemu.qmp.qmp_shell``
+``> PYTHONPATH=~/src/qemu/python python3 -m qemu.aqmp.qmp_shell``
 
 The mappings between console script name and python module path can be
 found in ``setup.cfg``.
