+===== Python API =====
+Via [[https://buildroot.org|Buildroot]] ''BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_CAN'' option located in
+<code>
+-> Target packages
+  -> Interpreter languages and scripting
+    -> External python modules
+      -> python-can
+</code>
+you can build ''python-can'' Python3 package.
+Please read [[https://python-can.readthedocs.io/en/stable/|python-can documentation]] to check how to access CAN from python based application.
