+# Build language specific bindings
+
+Bindings have been built in `src/main/` for Java, python, and ruby.
+
+Bindings for other languages can be built using the Thrift compiler. Follow the [Thrift tutorial]
+to install a Thrift compiler and use the following command to generate language bindings.
+
+```
+thrift -r --gen <language> <Thrift filename>
+```
+
+# Create an Accumulo client using Python
+
+Run the commands below to install the Python bindings and create an example client:
+
+```bash
+mkdir accumulo-client/
+cd accumulo-client/
+pipenv --python 2.7
+pipenv install -e /path/to/accumulo-proxy/src/main/python
+cp /path/to/accumulo-proxy/src/main/python/example.py .
+# Edit credentials if needed
+vim example.py
+pipenv run python2 example.py
+```
