+
+This example shows how you can use Python modules from B2.
+
+In order to do this, you need to build bjam with Python support, by running:
+
+   ./build.sh --with-python=/usr
+
+in the jam/src directory (replace /usr with the root of your Python
+installation).
+
+The integration between Python and bjam is very basic now, but enough to be
+useful.
