Synopsis

+ Welcome to version 2 of Boost.Python, a C++ library which enables + seamless interoperability between C++ and the Python 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: + + +
