Research direction

Start with tests/main.py and test_libuv_api.py, then reproduce the failure where cython_helper cannot be found. Compare the failing test invocation with the reported workaround for the module search path. Done means test_libuv_api.py locates cython_helper without requiring that manual workaround.
