So it is not wired up like 'perf archive', trying it directly:

root@number:~# ~acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/python/ilist.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/python/ilist.py", line 11, in <module>
    from textual import on
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'textual'
root@number:~#
