<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:
