Python API Workaround for EnergyPlus 9.3

edit

Is there an easy workaround to use the new Python API with EnergyPlus 9.3 for files like PythonPluginCustomTrendVariable.idf and PythonPluginCustomTrendVariable.py in the ExampleFiles directory?

I know there's active work going on to fix the problem, in Continued API/Plugin Issues #7877 and Problems linking to API #7888, but I couldn't figure out a workaround from those.
