| <h2>Synopsis</h2> |
| Welcome to version 2 of <b>Boost.Python</b>, a C++ library which enables |
| seamless interoperability between C++ and the <a href= |
| "http://www.python.org">Python</a> programming language. The new version |
| has been rewritten from the ground up, with a more convenient and |
| flexible interface, and many new capabilities, including support for: |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>References and Pointers</li> |
| |
| <li>Globally Registered Type Coercions</li> |
| |
| <li>Automatic Cross-Module Type Conversions</li> |
| |
| <li>Efficient Function Overloading</li> |
| |
| <li>C++ to Python Exception Translation</li> |
| |
| <li>Default Arguments</li> |
| |
| <li>Keyword Arguments</li> |
| |
| <li>Manipulating Python objects in C++</li> |
| |
| <li>Exporting C++ Iterators as Python Iterators</li> |
| |
| <li>Documentation Strings</li> |
| </ul> |
| The development of these features was funded in part by grants to <a |
| href="http://www.boost-consulting.com">Boost Consulting</a> from the <a |
| href="http://www.llnl.gov/">Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories</a> |
| and by the <a href="http://cci.lbl.gov/">Computational Crystallography |
| Initiative</a> at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories. |
