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. > **Note**: This project is under active development and not ready for production use. ## Dependencies * A compiler with C++11 support * Pip 10+ or CMake >= 4.1 * Ninja or Pip 10+ ## Installation `pip install pylibbpf` ## Development Clone this repository and pip install. Note the `--recursive` option which is needed for the pybind11 submodule: ```bash sudo apt install libelf-dev git clone --recursive https://github.com/varun-r-mallya/pylibbpf.git pip install . ``` With the `setup.py` file included in this example, the `pip install` command will invoke CMake and build the pybind11 module as specified in `CMakeLists.txt`. ## Building the documentation The documentation here is still boilerplate.
