+# Python Workers Examples
+
+This is a collection of examples for [writing Cloudflare Workers in Python](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/languages/python). Use these examples to learn how Python Workers work.
+
+## Get started
+
+1. `git clone https://github.com/cloudflare/python-workers-examples`
+2. `cd hello`
+3. `npx wrangler@latest dev`
+4. Press the `b` key to open a browser tab, and make a request to your Worker
+5. `npx wrangler@latest deploy` to deploy your Worker to Cloudflare
+
+You can run `npx wrangler@latest dev` in any example project directory to run a local development server using [Wrangler](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/), the CLI for Cloudflare Workers. This local development server is powered by [workerd](https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd), the open-source Workers runtime.
+
+## Examples
+
+- [**`01-hello/`**](01-hello) — the most basic Python Worker
+- [**`02-binding/`**](02-binding) — shows how [bindings](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/configuration/bindings/) work in Python Workers. Put a key into Workers KV, and then read it.
+- [**`03-fastapi/`**](03-fastapi) — demonstrates how to use the [FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/) package with Python Workers
+- [**`04-langchain/`**](04-langchain) — demonstrates how to use the [LangChain](https://pypi.org/project/langchain/) package with Python Workers
