+Python Binding
+========================================
+
+.. highlight:: python
+
+.. note::
+
+ The Python binding should be considered alpha software, and the
+ interfaces may change in the future.
+
+Botan includes a binding for Python, implemented using Boost.Python.
+
+As you can see, it is not currently documented, though there are a few
+examples under `src/scripts/examples`, such as RSA:
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../../src/scripts/examples/rsa.py
+
+and EAX encryption using a passphrase:
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../../src/scripts/examples/cipher.py
