      <para>
        These instructions provide the <application>Python2</application>
        bindings for <application>libxml2</application>: the
        <application>Python3</application> bindings are built as part of <xref
        linkend="libxml2"/> and most packages in the book do not use these
        bindings for the older <application>Python2</application>.
      </para>

      <para>
        By building these bindings after <xref linkend="libxml2"/> has
        been installed, there is no need to rebuild the time-consuming (if all
        dependencies are used) main part of that package.
