+You need to have the futures python library installed to be able to use pylightning:

+```
+
+### Example
+
+```py
+from pylightning import LightningRpc
+import random
+
+# Create two instances of the LightningRpc object using two different c-lightning daemons on your computer
+l1 = LightningRpc("/tmp/lightning1/lightning-rpc")
+l5 = LightningRpc("/tmp/lightning5/lightning-rpc")
+
+info5 = l5.getinfo()
+print(info5)
+
+# Create invoice for test payment
+invoice = l5.invoice(100, "lbl{}".format(random.random()), "testpayment")
+print(invoice)
+
+# Get route to l1
+route = l1.getroute(info5['id'], 100, 1)
