 Rescanning a module

+To re-scan a module, it is recommended to clean the installation, and then
+to configure with Python scanning enabled:
 
 .. sourcecode:: bash
 
     $ cd source/ns-3-dev
+    $ ./ns3 clean
+    $ ./ns3 configure -- -DNS3_SCAN_PYTHON_BINDINGS=ON
+
+Ensure in the configure output that pygccxml and castxml were found.  To
+scan an individual module, such as wifi, append `-apiscan` to the module

+To re-scan all modules (which can take some time):
 
 .. sourcecode:: bash
 
     $ cd source/ns-3-dev

+Then, to check whether the rescanned bindings can be compiled, enable
+the Python bindings in the build:

+.. sourcecode:: bash

+    $ ./ns3 configure --enable-python-bindings
