+ufo-core has GObject introspection to let third-party languages interface with
+the library. To build the support files you need the GObject introspection
+scanner ``g-ir-scanner`` and compiler ``g-ir-compiler`` which you can get on
+openSUSE via ::
+
+ $ zypper install gobject-introspection-devel python-gobject2
+
+In the ``python/`` subdirectory of the source distribution, additional Python
+modules to interface more easily with the framework is provided. To install the
+NumPy module and the high-level interface run ::
+
+ $ cd python/ && python setup install
+
+Refer to the README for additional information.
