+    Koethe</a> had independently developed a similar system. When he
+    discovered Boost.Python v1, he generously contributed countless hours of
+    coding and much insight into improving it. He is responsible for an early
+    version of the support for function overloading and wrote the support for
+    reflecting C++ inheritance relationships. He has helped to improve
+    error-reporting from both Python and C++ (we hope to do as well in v2
+    again soon), and has designed the original support for exposing numeric
+    operators, including a way to avoid explicit coercion by means of

+    <p>The members of the boost mailing list and the Python community
