"# Tutorial: Using the API functionality of binary_c-python\n",
"This notebook shows how to use the API functions that interface with binary_c. It usually is better to use wrapper functions that internally use these API functions, because most of the output here is very raw\n",
"Binarycpython uses the Python-C extension framework to interface Python with C. The sourcecode for this is contained in `src/binary_c_python.c`, and the functions are available via `from binarycpython import _binary_c_bindings`.\n",
