+==== +python-package+ CFFI backend
+
+C Foreign Function Interface for Python (CFFI) provides a convenient and
+reliable way to call compiled C code from Python using interface declarations
+written in C. Python packages relying on this backend can be identified by
+appearance of the +cffi+ dependency in an +install_requires+ field of their
++setup.py+ file.
+
+Such a package needs +python-cffi+ as a runtime dependency in order to import
+the compiled C library wrapper on the target and +host-python-cffi+ as a
+build-time dependency in order to cross-compile the C wrapper. You'll need to
+add the following code to the package's +Config.in+ and +*.mk+ files,
+respectively.
