+# Python Function with an additional Go binary
+
+A sample Python function which lets you add an additional go binary and call it as part of the function call.
+
+Build the go binary:
+
+```bash
+GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o "my-program" -ldflags="-s -w" ./main.go
+```
+
+Deploy the function straight to Code Engine by running the following command from this directory
+
+```bash
+ibmcloud ce fn create -n py-go-func -runtime python-3.11 --build-source .
+```
+
