+# pySoftMC
+
+Python bindings for the DRAM Bender API via pybind11.
+
+## Building with `make`
+
+Requires the pybind11 submodule (`git clone --recursive` or `git submodule update --init --recursive`) and a system Python installation with headers at `/usr/include/python3.X`.
+
+```
+make
+```
+
+## Building with `setup.py`
+
+A more portable alternative that works with virtual environments and pyenv:
+
+```
+python3 setup.py build_ext --inplace
+```
+
+This uses the active Python interpreter's own build machinery, so it works regardless of where Python is installed.
