+This directory contains Python bindings to allow you to access various
+aspects of Samba. At the moment their status is "experimental" and
+they are not built by default.
+
+In order to be able to compile samba-python you need to have python
+and the python-dev packages installed.
+
+Python libraries are always built for a particular version of Python
+(2.2, 2.1, etc), and libraries built for one version will not be seen
+by another. By default Samba's libraries are built for whatever is
+installed as "python" on your $PATH, but you can override this using
+the --with-python option. For example
+
+ $ ./configure --with-python=python2.2
+
+To build:
+
+$ autoconf
+$ ./configure
+$ make python_ext
+
+Now, you can install the modules:
+
+$ cp build/lib.*/*.so /usr/lib/python2.1/lib-dynload/
+
+(the directory /usr/lib/python2.1 may vary, depending on your installation)
+
+Samba-python should work now!
