 To build the module, make sure you have built binary_c (with "make" in the binar_c root directory), its shared library (with "make libbinary_c.so" in the binary_c root directory), and set environment variables as described above, then run:

 You will require whatever libraries with which binary_c was compiled, as well as the compiler with which Python was built (usually gcc, which is easily installed on most systems).
