+This library provides Python bindings for **libbpf** on Linux, making it easier to load eBPF object files. It is designed to be used together with [PythonBPF](https://github.com/pythonbpf/python-bpf), the eBPF compiler for Python. With these bindings, you can attach eBPF programs to kernel events directly from Python.  
+All programs written with this are to be run with a `sudo` Python interpreter.

-## Development
-Do this before running to make sure Python can manipulate bpf programs without sudo

 ## Building the documentation
 The documentation here is still boilerplate.
