Research direction

Start by reproducing `from bcc import BPF` with Python 2.7.12 on Ubuntu 16.04.7, then inspect the installed BCC package and its installation requirements. Compare the environment with the project's supported Ubuntu and Python versions; done when the cause is identified and the import succeeds or the unsupported setup is clearly documented.
