   7 Linux distributions typically provide the Babeltrace |~| 2 Python
   8 bindings as the ``python3-bt2`` package.

  10 Build and install from source
  11 -----------------------------
  12 When you
  13 `build Babeltrace 2 from source <https://babeltrace.org/#bt2-build-from-src>`_,
  14 specify the ``--enable-python-bindings`` option at configuration time,
  15 for example:
  16
  17 .. code-block:: text
  18
  19    $ ./configure --enable-python-bindings
  20
  21 If you also need the Babeltrace |~| 2 library (libbabeltrace2) to
  22 load Python plugins, specify the ``--enable-python-plugins`` option
  23 at configuration time:
  24
  25 .. code-block:: text
  26
  27    $ ./configure --enable-python-bindings --enable-python-plugins
  28
  29 See the project's
  30 :bt2link:`README <https://github.com/efficios/babeltrace/blob/stable-@ver@/README.adoc>`
  31 for build-time requirements and detailed build instructions.

  35    The Babeltrace |~| 2 Python bindings only work with Python |~| 3.
