+to install, try:
+
+python setup.py build
+python setup.py install
+
+Notes: 
+ - a compatible build of audioDB (>=r914) needs to be linkable at runtime
+ - currently only the direct C-api exposure layer is visible, so the calling semantics are a bit gross
+
+
+The actual query call is a bit of a mess, but will be more intuitive from the native python layer (to be written)...
+so the python bindings now have a complete path:
+	>>import _pyadb
+	>>aDB = _pyadb._pyadb_create("test.adb", 0,0,0)
+	>>_pyadb._pyadb_status(aDB)
+	>>_pyadb._pyadb_insertFromFile(aDB, "someFeats.mfcc12")
+		...(add some more data)
+	>>result = _pyadb._pyadb_queryFromKey(aDB, "a Key in aDB", [options])
+	
+	and then result has a nice dict of your results.
