 # darkfi-sdk-py
 
-## Bootstrap
+Python bindings for some parts of the `darkfi-sdk` and the `zkvm`.
 
-This python sdk requires a virtual environment, along with a build tool.
-To create the environment, execute:
-```
-$ make bootstrap
-```
-You may find more information in [pyo3](https://pyo3.rs/v0.15.1/#using-rust-from-python)
-setup guide.
+## Build and install
+
+1. Install `maturin` via your package manager or from whatever source.
+2. Run `make` to build the wheel
+3. (Optional) Run pip install --user <path_to_wheel>
 
 ## Development
 
-### Build
+For a development version you can use a venv:
 
-After successfully bootstrapping the virtual environment,
-you can build the sdk by simply executing:
 ```
-$ make
+$ python3 -m venv venv
+$ source venv/bin/activate
+(venv) $ maturin develop --release
 ```
 
-After all development is finished, you need to remove
-the virtual envirnment folder, as it breaks rest make
-operations in the repo, so just execute:
-```
-$ make clean
-```
-
-### Usage example
+## Usage
 
 ```
 $ python3
-from darkfi_sdk_py.base import Base
-a = Base.from_u64(42)
-b = Base.from_u64(69)
-a + b == Base.from_u64(111)
+>>> import darkfi_sdk_py
+>>> darkfi_sdk_py.__dir__()
+>>>
+>>> from darkfi_sdk_py.base import Base
+>>> a = Base.from_u64(42)
+>>> b = Base.from_u64(69)
+>>> a + b == Base.from_u64(111)
 ```
