 The reasoning for this location is to preserve your modules between (minor) upgrades or re-installations of Python. Additionally, Homebrew has a strict policy never to write stuff outside of the `brew --prefix`, so we don't spam your system.
 
 ## Homebrew-provided Python bindings
-Some formulae provide Python bindings. Sometimes a `--with-python` or `--with-python@2` option has to be passed to `brew install` in order to build the Python bindings. (Check with `brew options <formula>`.)
+Some formulae provide Python bindings.
 
 **Warning!** Python may crash (see [Common Issues](Common-Issues.md)) if you `import <module>` from a brewed Python if you ran `brew install <formula_with_python_bindings>` against the system Python. If you decide to switch to the brewed Python, then reinstall all formulae with Python bindings (e.g. `pyside`, `wxwidgets`, `pygtk`, `pygobject`, `opencv`, `vtk` and `boost-python`).

 Homebrew draws a distinction between Python **applications** and Python **libraries**. The difference is that users generally do not care that applications are written in Python; it is unusual that a user would expect to be able to `import foo` after installing an application. Examples of applications are [`ansible`](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/ansible.rb) and [`jrnl`](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/jrnl.rb).
 
-Python libraries exist to be imported by other Python modules; they are often dependencies of Python applications. They are usually no more than incidentally useful in a terminal. Examples of libraries are [`py2cairo`](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/py2cairo.rb) and the bindings that are installed by [`protobuf --with-python`](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/protobuf.rb).

 Bindings are a special case of libraries that allow Python code to interact with a library or application implemented in another language.
