python plugin for EnergyPlus issues

I see EnergyPlus has a Python plugin to couple simulations between energyplus and python script. I have two questions: (1) how to run such simulation through EP-Launch?
I tried one example through EP-launch:

PythonPluginCustomSchedule.idf

The error i got:

Program Version,EnergyPlus, Version 9.4.0-998c4b761e, YMD=2020.12.28 11:14, * Severe * Failed to import module "PythonPluginCustomSchedule" * ~~~ * Python error description follows: * ~~~ * ModuleNotFoundError("No module named 'PythonPluginCustomSchedule'") * Fatal * In reportPythonError(), traceback.format_exception did not return a list. ...Summary of Errors that led to program termination: .....

Last severe error=Failed to import module "PythonPluginCustomSchedule" * Fatal * In reportPythonError(), traceback.format_exception did not return a list. ...Summary of Errors that led to program termination: ..... Reference severe error count=1 ..... Last severe error=Failed to import module "PythonPluginCustomSchedule"*

(2) is it only working at command line?
