This section summarizes aspects of generating and using the Python bindings associated with software wrapped with Babel's language interoperability middleware. The bindings generation process and required environment variables are presented before the process for importing SIDL-specified constructs is described. Object management and invocation of static and overloaded methods are also summarized. The process of catching exceptions is then discussed. Finally, the processes for enabling and disabling implementation-specific pre- and post-method instrumentation -- referred to as ``hooks'' -- are illustrated.
