 ### Using ALF as a library
 
-To use ALF as a library the "Alf/Alf.h" convenience header may be used, as seen in [this](src/example.cxx) example. To build, it is necessary to load the alisw environment (`aliswmod enter ALF`) and run the following g++ command. Make sure to adjust the versions according to `aliswmod list` output, when the environment is loaded.

+### Python bindings
+The ALF library also offers a python interface through the use of `Boost.Python`. To use it the ALF environment needs to be loaded and the `libO2Alf` library imported. 
+
+To read the documentation for the python bindings:
+```
+module load ALF
+python -c "import libO2Alf; help(libO2Alf)"
+```
