Maybe try

$ PYTHONPATH=./python:$PYTHONPATH build/out/bin/musicxml2ly ...

("git grep PYTHONPATH" will take you to where this is documented
in the contributor's guide).

Also remember that if you make any changes to the musicxml2ly.py
script, you need to run "make" again to sync build/out/bin/musicxml2ly.

(Yes, this setup is really weird.)
