Installation

Linux distributions

Linux distributions typically provide the Babeltrace 2 Python bindings as the python3-bt2 package.

Build and install from source

When you build Babeltrace 2 from source, specify the --enable-python-bindings option at configuration time, for example:

$ ./configure --enable-python-bindings

If you also need the Babeltrace 2 library (libbabeltrace2) to load Python plugins, specify the --enable-python-plugins option at configuration time:

$ ./configure --enable-python-bindings --enable-python-plugins

See the project’s README for build-time requirements and detailed build instructions.

Note

The Babeltrace 2 Python bindings only work with Python 3.
