    [$] Accessing new kernel features from Python

    Description:
    Every release of the Linux kernel has lots of new features, many of which
    are accessible from user space. Usually, though, the GNU C Library (glibc)
    and tools that access the Linux user-space API lag behind the kernel
    releases. Geoffrey Thomas showed how Python programs can access these new kernel features as soon as the kernel is released in his "What's New in the Linux Kernel... from Python" talk at PyCon US 2025 . While he had two
    examples of accessing new kernel features, the real goal of the talk was to demonstrate how to go about connecting Python to
    the Linux kernel.
