+# Python bindings for enry
+
+Python bindings through cFFI (API, out-of-line) for calling enry Go functions exposed by CGo wrapper.
+
+## Build
+
+```
+$ pushd .. && make static && popd
+$ pip install -r requirements.txt
+$ python build_enry.py
+```
+
+Will build a static library for Cgo wrapper `libenry`, then generate and build `enry.c` - a CPython extension that provides actual bindings.
+
+## Run
+
+Example for single exposed API function is provided.
+
+```
+$ python enry.py
+```
+
+## TODOs
+ - [x] helpers for sending/receiving Go slices to C
+ - [x] read `libenry.h` and generate `ffibuilder.cdef(...)` content
+ - [x] cover the rest of enry API
+ - [x] add `setup.py`
+ - [ ] build/release automation on CI (publish on pypi)
+ - [ ] try ABI mode, to avoid dependency on C compiler on install (+perf test?)
