+libgpiod Python bindings API
+============================
+
+The **libgpiod Python bindings** provide an interface to control and interact
+with GPIO (General-Purpose Input/Output) lines on Linux systems using the
+libgpiod library. The Python bindings allow developers to manage GPIO pins
+easily through Python scripts, enabling tasks such as reading input values,
+setting outputs, monitoring events, and configuring more fine-grained pin
+options.
