# bcc Python Developer Tutorial
-This tutorial is about developing [bcc](https://github.com/iovisor/bcc) tools and programs using the Python interface. There are two parts: observability then networking. Snippits are taken from various programs in bcc: see their files for licences.

### Lesson 4. sync_timing.py
-Remember the days of sysadmins typing ```sync``` three times on a slow console before ```reboot```, to give the first asynchrosous sync time to complete? Then someone thought ```sync;sync;sync``` was clever, to run them all on one line, which became industry practice despite defeating the original purpose! And then sync became synchronous, so more reasons it was silly. Anyway.
