-    <h3><a name="easy">The Easy Way</a></h3>

-    not supported, so it works most smoothly if you add a new subproject to

-    <ol>
-      <li>Create a new subdirectory in, <code>libs/python</code>, say
-      <code>libs/python/my_project</code>.</li>

-      directory.</li>
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+boost-build ../../../tools/build ;

-      <li>Edit the Jamfile as appropriate for your project. You'll want to
-      change the "<code>subproject</code>" rule invocation at the top, and
-      the names of some of the source files and/or targets.</li>
-    </ol>
+so that the path refers to the <code>tools/build</code> subdirectory

-    If you can't (or don't wish to) modify your boost installation, the
-    alternative is to create your own Boost.Build project. A similar example
-    you can use as a starting point is available in <code><a href=
-    "../example/project.zip">this archive</a></code>. You'll need to edit the
-    Jamfile and Jamrules files, depending on the relative location of your

+<li>We need to construct a new type that can hold our boring struct.</li>
+<li>Inward and outward converters need to be registered for the type.</li>
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+<p>Can you gesture in the general direction where these things are done?</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>I only have time for a &quot;off-the-top-of-my-head&quot; answer at the moment;
+I suggest you step through the code with a debugger after reading this
+to see how it works, fill in details, and make sure I didn't forget
+anything.</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>A new (Python) subclass of Boost.Python.Instance (see
+libs/python/src/object/class.cpp) is created by invoking
+Boost.Python.class, the metatype:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+&gt;&gt;&gt; boring = Boost.Python.class(
+...     'boring'
+...   , bases_tuple       # in this case, just ()
+...   , { 
+...         '__module__' : module_name
+...       , '__doc__' : doc_string # optional
+...     }
+... )
+</pre>
+<p>A handle to this object is stuck in the m_class_object field
+of the registration associated with <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">typeid(boring)</span></tt>.  The
+registry will keep that object alive forever, even if you
+wipe out the 'boring' attribute of the extension module
+(probably not a good thing).</p>
+<p>Because you didn't specify <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">class&lt;boring,</span> <span class="pre">non_copyable,</span>
+<span class="pre">...&gt;</span></tt>, a to-python converter for boring is registered which
+copies its argument into a value_holder held by the the
+Python boring object.</p>
+<p>Because you didn't specify <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">class&lt;boring</span> <span class="pre">...&gt;(no_init)</span></tt>,
+an <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">__init__</span></tt> function object is added to the class
+dictionary which default-constructs a boring in a
+value_holder (because you didn't specify some smart pointer
+or derived wrapper class as a holder) held by the Python
+boring object.</p>
+<p><tt class="literal"><span class="pre">register_class_from_python</span></tt> is used to register a
+from-python converter for <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">shared_ptr&lt;boring&gt;</span></tt>.
+<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">boost::shared_ptr</span></tt>s are special among smart pointers
+because their Deleter argument can be made to manage the
+whole Python object, not just the C++ object it contains, no
+matter how the C++ object is held.</p>
+<p>If there were any <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">bases&lt;&gt;</span></tt>, we'd also be registering the
+relationship between these base classes and boring in the
+up/down cast graph (<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">inheritance.[hpp/cpp]</span></tt>).</p>
+<p>In earlier versions of the code, we'd be registering lvalue
+from-python converters for the class here, but now
+from-python conversion for wrapped classes is handled as a
+special case, before consulting the registry, if the source
+Python object's metaclass is the Boost.Python metaclass.</p>
+<p>Hmm, that from-python converter probably ought to be handled
+the way class converters are, with no explicit conversions
+registered.</p>
+</blockquote>
+</blockquote>
+<ol class="arabic" start="2">
+<li><p class="first">Can you give a brief overview of the data structures that are
+present in the registry</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>The registry is simple: it's just a map from typeid -&gt;
+registration (see boost/python/converter/registrations.hpp).
+<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">lvalue_chain</span></tt> and <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">rvalue_chain</span></tt> are simple endogenous

+<p>from c++ to python:</p>

+<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">ref</span></tt> or <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">ptr</span></tt> is used.  There are also two basic
+categories to to-python conversion, &quot;return value&quot; conversion
+(for Python-&gt;C++ calls) and &quot;argument&quot; conversion (for
+C++-&gt;Python calls and explicit <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">object()</span></tt> conversions).  The
+behavior of these two categories differs subtly in various ways
+whose details I forget at the moment.  You can probably find
+the answers in the above references, and certainly in the code.</p>
+<p>The &quot;default&quot; case is by-value (copying) conversion, which uses
+to_python_value as a to-python converter.</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>Since there can sensibly be only one way to convert any type
+to python (disregarding the idea of scoped registries for the
+moment), it makes sense that to-python conversions can be
+handled by specializing a template.  If the type is one of
+the types handled by a built-in conversion
+(builtin_converters.hpp), the corresponding template
+specialization of to_python_value gets used.</p>
+<p>Otherwise, to_python_value uses the <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">m_to_python</span></tt>
+function in the registration for the C++ type.</p>
+</blockquote>
+<p>Other conversions, like by-reference conversions, are only

+A conversation between Brett Calcott and David Abrahams
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+:copyright: Copyright David Abrahams and Brett Calcott 2003. See
+            accompanying license_ for terms of use.
+
+In both of these cases, I'm quite capable of reading code - but the
+thing I don't get from scanning the source is a sense of the
+architecture, both structurally, and temporally (er, I mean in what
+order things go on).
+
+1) What happens when you do the following::
+
+     struct boring {};
+     ...etc...
+     class_<boring>("boring")
+         ;
+
+There seems to be a fair bit going on.
+
+ - Python needs a new ClassType to be registered.
+ - We need to construct a new type that can hold our boring struct.
+ - Inward and outward converters need to be registered for the type.
+
+Can you gesture in the general direction where these things are done?
+
+  I only have time for a "off-the-top-of-my-head" answer at the moment;
+  I suggest you step through the code with a debugger after reading this
+  to see how it works, fill in details, and make sure I didn't forget
+  anything.
+
+          A new (Python) subclass of Boost.Python.Instance (see
+          libs/python/src/object/class.cpp) is created by invoking
+          Boost.Python.class, the metatype::
+
+                >>> boring = Boost.Python.class(
+                ...     'boring'
+                ...   , bases_tuple       # in this case, just ()
+                ...   , { 
+                ...         '__module__' : module_name
+                ...       , '__doc__' : doc_string # optional
+                ...     }
+                ... )
+
+          A handle to this object is stuck in the m_class_object field
+          of the registration associated with ``typeid(boring)``.  The
+          registry will keep that object alive forever, even if you
+          wipe out the 'boring' attribute of the extension module
+          (probably not a good thing).
+
+          Because you didn't specify ``class<boring, non_copyable,
+          ...>``, a to-python converter for boring is registered which
+          copies its argument into a value_holder held by the the
+          Python boring object.
+
+          Because you didn't specify ``class<boring ...>(no_init)``,
+          an ``__init__`` function object is added to the class
+          dictionary which default-constructs a boring in a
+          value_holder (because you didn't specify some smart pointer
+          or derived wrapper class as a holder) held by the Python
+          boring object.
+
+          ``register_class_from_python`` is used to register a
+          from-python converter for ``shared_ptr<boring>``.
+          ``boost::shared_ptr``\ s are special among smart pointers
+          because their Deleter argument can be made to manage the
+          whole Python object, not just the C++ object it contains, no
+          matter how the C++ object is held.
+
+          If there were any ``bases<>``, we'd also be registering the
+          relationship between these base classes and boring in the
+          up/down cast graph (``inheritance.[hpp/cpp]``).
+
+          In earlier versions of the code, we'd be registering lvalue
+          from-python converters for the class here, but now
+          from-python conversion for wrapped classes is handled as a
+          special case, before consulting the registry, if the source
+          Python object's metaclass is the Boost.Python metaclass.
+
+          Hmm, that from-python converter probably ought to be handled
+          the way class converters are, with no explicit conversions
+          registered.
+
+2) Can you give a brief overview of the data structures that are
+   present in the registry
+
+        The registry is simple: it's just a map from typeid ->
+        registration (see boost/python/converter/registrations.hpp).
+        ``lvalue_chain`` and ``rvalue_chain`` are simple endogenous
+        linked lists.
+
+        If you want to know more, just ask.
+
+        If you want to know about the cast graph, ask me something specific in
+        a separate message.
+
+   and an overview of the process that happens as a type makes its
+   way from c++ to python and back again.
+
+  Big subject.  I suggest some background reading: look for relevant
+  info in the LLNL progress reports and the messages they link to.
+  Also, 
+
+        http://mail.python.org/pipermail/c++-sig/2002-May/001023.html
+
+        http://mail.python.org/pipermail/c++-sig/2002-December/003115.html

+
+        http://mail.python.org/pipermail/c++-sig/2002-July/001755.html
+
+  from c++ to python:
+
+       It depends on the type and the call policies in use or, for
+       ``call<>(...)``, ``call_method<>(...)``, or ``object(...)``, if
+       ``ref`` or ``ptr`` is used.  There are also two basic
+       categories to to-python conversion, "return value" conversion
+       (for Python->C++ calls) and "argument" conversion (for
+       C++->Python calls and explicit ``object()`` conversions).  The
+       behavior of these two categories differs subtly in various ways
+       whose details I forget at the moment.  You can probably find
+       the answers in the above references, and certainly in the code.
+
+       The "default" case is by-value (copying) conversion, which uses
+       to_python_value as a to-python converter.
+
+           Since there can sensibly be only one way to convert any type
+           to python (disregarding the idea of scoped registries for the
+           moment), it makes sense that to-python conversions can be
+           handled by specializing a template.  If the type is one of
+           the types handled by a built-in conversion
+           (builtin_converters.hpp), the corresponding template
+           specialization of to_python_value gets used.
+
+           Otherwise, to_python_value uses the ``m_to_python``
+           function in the registration for the C++ type.
+
+       Other conversions, like by-reference conversions, are only
+       available for wrapped classes, and are requested explicitly by
+       using ``ref(...)``, ``ptr(...)``, or by specifying different
+       CallPolicies for a call, which can cause a different to-python
+       converter to be used.  These conversions are never registered
+       anywhere, though they do need to use the registration to find
+       the Python class corresponding to the C++ type being referred
+       to.  They just build a new Python instance and stick the
+       appropriate Holder instance in it.
+
+
+  from python to C++:
+
+       Once again I think there is a distinction between "return value"
+       and "argument" conversions, and I forget exactly what that is.
+
+       What happens depends on whether an lvalue conversion is needed
+       (see http://mail.python.org/pipermail/c++-sig/2002-May/001023.html)
+       All lvalue conversions are also registered in a type's rvalue
+       conversion chain, since when an rvalue will do, an lvalue is
+       certainly good enough.
+
+       An lvalue conversion can be done in one step (just get me the
+       pointer to the object - it can be ``NULL`` if no conversion is
+       possible) while an rvalue conversion requires two steps to
+       support wrapped function overloading and multiple converters for
+       a given C++ target type: first tell me if a conversion is
+       possible, then construct the converted object as a second step.

+[page:0 Embedding]
+
+By now you should know how to use Boost.Python to call your C++ code from
+Python. However, sometimes you may need to do the reverse: call Python code
+from the C++-side. This requires you to ['embed] the Python interpreter
+into your C++ program.
+
+Currently, Boost.Python does not directly support everything you'll need
+when embedding. Therefore you'll need to use the
+[@http://www.python.org/doc/current/api/api.html Python/C API] to fill in
+the gaps. However, Boost.Python already makes embedding a lot easier and,
+in a future version, it may become unnecessary to touch the Python/C API at
+all. So stay tuned... :-)
+
+[h2 Building embedded programs]
+
+To be able to use embedding in your programs, they have to be linked to
+both Boost.Python's and Python's static link library.
+
+Boost.Python's static link library comes in two variants. Both are located
+in Boost's [^/libs/python/build/bin-stage] subdirectory. On Windows, the
+variants are called [^boost_python.lib] (for release builds) and
+[^boost_python_debug.lib] (for debugging). If you can't find the libraries,
+you probably haven't built Boost.Python yet. See [@../../building.html
+Building and Testing] on how to do this.
+
+Python's static link library can be found in the [^/libs] subdirectory of
+your Python directory. On Windows it is called pythonXY.lib where X.Y is
+your major Python version number.
+
+Additionally, Python's [^/include] subdirectory has to be added to your
+include path.
+
+In a Jamfile, all the above boils down to:
+
+[pre
+    projectroot c:\projects\embedded_program ; # location of the program
+
+    # bring in the rules for python
+    SEARCH on python.jam = $(BOOST_BUILD_PATH) ;
+    include python.jam ;
+
+    exe embedded_program # name of the executable
+      : #sources
+         embedded_program.cpp
+      : # requirements
+         <find-library>boost_python <library-path>c:\boost\libs\python
+      $(PYTHON_PROPERTIES)
+        <library-path>$(PYTHON_LIB_PATH)
+        <find-library>$(PYTHON_EMBEDDED_LIBRARY) ;
+]
+
+[h2 Getting started]
+
+Being able to build is nice, but there is nothing to build yet. Embedding
+the Python interpreter into one of your C++ programs requires these 4
+steps:
+
+# '''#include''' [^<boost/python.hpp>][br][br]
+
+# Call Py_Initialize() to start the interpreter and create the [^__main__] module.[br][br]
+
+# Call other Python C API routines to use the interpreter.[br][br]
+
+# Call Py_Finalize() to stop the interpreter and release its resources.
+
+(Of course, there can be other C++ code between all of these steps.)
+
+[:['[*Now that we can embed the interpreter in our programs, lets see how to put it to use...]]]
+
+[page:1 Using the interpreter]
+
+As you probably already know, objects in Python are reference-counted.
+Naturally, the [^PyObject]s of the Python/C API are also reference-counted.
+There is a difference however. While the reference-counting is fully
+automatic in Python, the Python/C API requires you to do it
+[@http://www.python.org/doc/current/api/refcounts.html by hand]. This is
+messy and especially hard to get right in the presence of C++ exceptions.
+Fortunately Boost.Python provides the [@../../v2/handle.html handle] class
+template to automate the process.
+
+[h2 Reference-counting handles]
+
+There are two ways in which a function in the Python/C API can return a
+[^PyObject*]: as a ['borrowed reference] or as a ['new reference]. Which of
+these a function uses, is listed in that function's documentation. The two
+require slightely different approaches to reference-counting but both can
+be 'handled' by Boost.Python.
+
+For a function returning a ['borrowed reference] we'll have to tell the
+[^handle] that the [^PyObject*] is borrowed with the aptly named
+[@../../v2/handle.html#borrowed-spec borrowed] function. Two functions
+returning borrowed references are PyImport_AddModule and PyModule_GetDict.
+The former returns a reference to an already imported module, the latter
+retrieves a module's namespace dictionary. Let's use them to retrieve the
+namespace of the [^__main__] module:
+
+    handle<> main_module(borrowed( PyImport_AddModule("__main__") ));
+    handle<> main_namespace(borrowed( PyModule_GetDict(main_module.get()) ));
+
+Because the Python/C API doesn't know anything about [^handle]s, we used
+the [@../../v2/handle.html#handle-spec-observers get] member function to
+retrieve the [^PyObject*] from which the [^handle] was constructed.
+
+For a function returning a ['new reference] we can just create a [^handle]
+out of the raw [^PyObject*] without wrapping it in a call to borrowed. One
+such function that returns a new reference is PyRun_String which we'll
+discuss in the next section.
+
+[blurb __detail__ [*Handle is a class ['template], so why haven't we been using any template parameters?][br]
+[br]
+[^handle] has a single template parameter specifying the type of the managed object. This type is [^PyObject] 99% of the time, so the parameter was defaulted to [^PyObject] for convenience. Therefore we can use the shorthand [^handle<>] instead of the longer, but equivalent, [^handle<PyObject>].
+]
+
+[h2 Running Python code]
+
+To run Python code from C++ there is a family of functions in the API
+starting with the PyRun prefix. You can find the full list of these
+functions [@http://www.python.org/doc/current/api/veryhigh.html here]. They
+all work similarly so we will look at only one of them, namely:
+
+    PyObject* PyRun_String(char *str, int start, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals)
+
+PyRun_String takes the code to execute as a null-terminated (C-style)
+string in its [^str] parameter. The function returns a new reference to a
+Python object. Which object is returned depends on the [^start] paramater.
+
+The [^start] parameter is the start symbol from the Python grammar to use
+for interpreting the code. The possible values are:
+
+[table Start symbols
+
+    [Py_eval_input]   [for interpreting isolated expressions]
+    [Py_file_input]   [for interpreting sequences of statements]
+    [Py_single_input] [for interpreting a single statement]
+]
+
+When using Py_eval_input, the input string must contain a single expression
+and its result is returned. When using Py_file_input, the string can
+contain an abitrary number of statements and None is returned.
+Py_single_input works in the same way as Py_file_input but only accepts a
+single statement.
+
+Lastly, the [^globals] and [^locals] parameters are Python dictionaries
+containing the globals and locals of the context in which to run the code.
+For most intents and purposes you can use the namespace dictionary of the
+[^__main__] module for both parameters.
+
+We have already seen how to get the [^__main__] module's namespace so let's
+run some Python code in it:
+
+    handle<> main_module(borrowed( PyImport_AddModule("__main__") ));
+    handle<> main_namespace(borrowed( PyModule_GetDict(main_module.get()) ));
+    handle<>( PyRun_String("hello = file('hello.txt', 'w')\n"
+                           "hello.write('Hello world!')\n"
+                           "hello.close()", Py_file_input,
+                           main_namespace.get(), main_namespace.get()) );
+
+This should create a file called 'hello.txt' in the current directory
+containing a phrase that is well-known in programming circles.
+
+__note__ [*Note] that we wrap the return value of PyRun_String in a
+(nameless) [^handle] even though we are not interested in it. If we didn't
+do this, the the returned object would be kept alive unnecessarily. Unless
+you want to be a Dr. Frankenstein, always wrap [^PyObject*]s in [^handle]s.
+
+[h2 Beyond handles]
+
+It's nice that [^handle] manages the reference counting details for us, but
+other than that it doesn't do much. Often we'd like to have a more useful
+class to manipulate Python objects. But we have already seen such a class
+in the [@object_interface.html previous section]: the aptly named [^object]
+class and it's derivatives. What we haven't seen, is that they can be
+constructed from a [^handle]. The following examples should illustrate this
+fact:
+
+    handle<> main_module(borrowed( PyImport_AddModule("__main__") ));
+    dict main_namespace(handle<>(borrowed( PyModule_GetDict(main_module.get()) )));
+    handle<>( PyRun_String("result = 5 ** 2", Py_file_input,
+                           main_namespace.ptr(), main_namespace.ptr()) );
+    int five_squared = extract<int>( main_namespace["result"] );
+
+Here we create a dictionary object for the [^__main__] module's namespace.
+Then we assign 5 squared to the result variable and read this variable from
+the dictionary. Another way to achieve the same result is to let
+PyRun_String return the result directly with Py_eval_input:
+
+    object result(handle<>( PyRun_String("5 ** 2", Py_eval_input,
+                                         main_namespace.ptr(), main_namespace.ptr()) ));
+    int five_squared = extract<int>(result);
+
+__note__ [*Note] that [^object]'s member function to return the wrapped
+[^PyObject*] is called [^ptr] instead of [^get]. This makes sense if you
+take into account the different functions that [^object] and [^handle]
+perform.
+
+[h2 Exception handling]
+
+If an exception occurs in the execution of some Python code, the PyRun_String function returns a null pointer. Constructing a [^handle] out of this null pointer throws [@../../v2/errors.html#error_already_set-spec error_already_set], so basically, the Python exception is automatically translated into a C++ exception when using [^handle]:
+
+    try
+    {
+        object result(handle<>( PyRun_String("5/0", Py_eval_input,
+                                             main_namespace.ptr(), main_namespace.ptr()) ));
+        // execution will never get here:
+        int five_divided_by_zero = extract<int>(result);
+    }
+    catch(error_already_set)
+    {
+        // handle the exception in some way
+    }
+
+The [^error_already_set] exception class doesn't carry any information in itself. To find out more about the Python exception that occurred, you need to use the [@http://www.python.org/doc/api/exceptionHandling.html exception handling functions] of the Python/C API in your catch-statement. This can be as simple as calling [@http://www.python.org/doc/api/exceptionHandling.html#l2h-70 PyErr_Print()] to print the exception's traceback to the console, or comparing the type of the exception with those of the [@http://www.python.org/doc/api/standardExceptions.html standard exceptions]:
+
+    catch(error_already_set)

+[page General Techniques]
+
+Here are presented some useful techniques that you can use while wrapping code with Boost.Python.
+
+[page:1 Creating Packages]
+
+A Python package is a collection of modules that provide to the user a certain
+functionality. If you're not familiar on how to create packages, a good
+introduction to them is provided in the
+[@http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/node8.html Python Tutorial].
+
+But we are wrapping C++ code, using Boost.Python. How can we provide a nice
+package interface to our users? To better explain some concepts, let's work
+with an example.
+
+We have a C++ library that works with sounds: reading and writing various
+formats, applying filters to the sound data, etc. It is named (conveniently)
+[^sounds].  Our library already has a neat C++ namespace hierarchy, like so: 
+
+    sounds::core
+    sounds::io
+    sounds::filters
+
+We would like to present this same hierarchy to the Python user, allowing him
+to write code like this:
+
+    import sounds.filters
+    sounds.filters.echo(...) # echo is a C++ function
+
+The first step is to write the wrapping code. We have to export each module
+separately with Boost.Python, like this:
+
+    /* file core.cpp */
+    BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(core)
+    {
+        /* export everything in the sounds::core namespace */
+        ...
+    } 
+        
+    /* file io.cpp */
+    BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(io)
+    {
+        /* export everything in the sounds::io namespace */
+        ...
+    } 
+
+    /* file filters.cpp */
+    BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(filters)
+    {
+        /* export everything in the sounds::filters namespace */
+        ...
+    } 
+
+Compiling these files will generate the following Python extensions:
+[^core.pyd], [^io.pyd] and [^filters.pyd].
+
+[blurb __note__ The extension [^.pyd] is used for python extension modules, which
+are just shared libraries.  Using the default for your system, like [^.so] for
+Unix and [^.dll] for Windows, works just as well.]
+
+Now, we create this directory structure for our Python package:
+
+[pre
+    sounds/
+        __init__.py
+        core.pyd
+        filters.pyd
+        io.pyd
+]
+
+The file [^__init__.py] is what tells Python that the directory [^sounds/] is
+actually a Python package. It can be a empty file, but can also perform some
+magic, that will be shown later. 
+
+Now our package is ready. All the user has to do is put [^sounds] into his
+[@http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/node8.html#SECTION008110000000000000000 PYTHONPATH] and fire up the interpreter:
+
+    >>> import sounds.io
+    >>> import sounds.filters
+    >>> sound = sounds.io.open('file.mp3')
+    >>> new_sound = sounds.filters.echo(sound, 1.0)
+
+Nice heh? 
+
+This is the simplest way to create hierarchies of packages, but it is not very
+flexible. What if we want to add a ['pure] Python function to the filters
+package, for instance, one that applies 3 filters in a sound object at once?
+Sure, you can do this in C++ and export it, but why not do so in Python? You
+don't have to recompile the extension modules, plus it will be easier to write
+it.
+
+If we want this flexibility, we will have to complicate our package hierarchy a
+little. First, we will have to change the name of the extension modules:
+
+    /* file core.cpp */
+    BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(_core)
+    {
+        ...
+        /* export everything in the sounds::core namespace */
+    }  
+
+Note that we added an underscore to the module name. The filename will have to
+be changed to [^_core.pyd] as well, and we do the same to the other extension modules.
+Now, we change our package hierarchy like so:
+
+[pre
+    sounds/
+        __init__.py
+        core/
+            __init__.py
+            _core.pyd
+        filters/
+            __init__.py
+            _filters.pyd
+        io/
+            __init__.py
+            _io.pyd
+]
+
+Note that we created a directory for each extension module, and added a
+__init__.py to each one. But if we leave it that way, the user will have to
+access the functions in the core module with this syntax: 
+
+    >>> import sounds.core._core
+    >>> sounds.core._core.foo(...)
+
+which is not what we want. But here enters the [^__init__.py] magic: everything
+that is brought to the [^__init__.py] namespace can be accessed directly by the
+user.  So, all we have to do is bring the entire namespace from [^_core.pyd]
+to [^core/__init__.py]. So add this line of code to [^sounds/core/__init__.py]:
+
+    from _core import *
+
+We do the same for the other packages. Now the user accesses the functions and
+classes in the extension modules like before:
+
+    >>> import sounds.filters
+    >>> sounds.filters.echo(...)
+
+with the additional benefit that we can easily add pure Python functions to
+any module, in a way that the user can't tell the difference between a C++
+function and a Python function. Let's add a ['pure] Python function,
+[^echo_noise], to the [^filters] package. This function applies both the
+[^echo] and [^noise] filters in sequence in the given [^sound] object. We
+create a file named [^sounds/filters/echo_noise.py] and code our function:
+
+    import _filters
+    def echo_noise(sound):
+        s = _filters.echo(sound)
+        s = _filters.noise(sound)
+        return s
+
+Next, we add this line to [^sounds/filters/__init__.py]:
+
+    from echo_noise import echo_noise
+
+And that's it. The user now accesses this function like any other function
+from the [^filters] package:
+
+    >>> import sounds.filters
+    >>> sounds.filters.echo_noise(...)
+
+[page:1 Extending Wrapped Objects in Python]
+
+Thanks to Python's flexibility, you can easily add new methods to a class,
+even after it was already created:
+
+    >>> class C(object): pass
+    >>>
+    >>> # a regular function
+    >>> def C_str(self): return 'A C instance!'
+    >>>
+    >>> # now we turn it in a member function
+    >>> C.__str__ = C_str   
+    >>>
+    >>> c = C()
+    >>> print c
+    A C instance!
+    >>> C_str(c)
+    A C instance!
+
+Yes, Python rox. :-)
+
+We can do the same with classes that were wrapped with Boost.Python. Suppose
+we have a class [^point] in C++:
+
+    class point {...};
+
+    BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(_geom)
+    {
+        class_<point>("point")...;
+    }
+
+If we are using the technique from the previous session, [@creating_packages.html 
+Creating Packages], we can code directly into [^geom/__init__.py]:
+
+    from _geom import *
+
+    # a regular function
+    def point_str(self):
+        return str((self.x, self.y))
+        
+    # now we turn it into a member function
+    point.__str__ = point_str
+
+[*All] point instances created from C++ will also have this member function!
+This technique has several advantages:
+
+* Cut down compile times to zero for these additional functions
+* Reduce the memory footprint to virtually zero
+* Minimize the need to recompile
+* Rapid prototyping (you can move the code to C++ if required without changing the interface)
+
+You can even add a little syntactic sugar with the use of metaclasses. Let's
+create a special metaclass that "injects" methods in other classes.
+
+    # The one Boost.Python uses for all wrapped classes. 
+    # You can use here any class exported by Boost instead of "point"
+    BoostPythonMetaclass = point.__class__ 
+
+    class injector(object):
+        class __metaclass__(BoostPythonMetaclass):
+            def __init__(self, name, bases, dict):
+                for b in bases:
+                    if type(b) not in (self, type):
+                        for k,v in dict.items():
+                            setattr(b,k,v)
+                return type.__init__(self, name, bases, dict)
+
+    # inject some methods in the point foo
+    class more_point(injector, point):
+        def __repr__(self):
+            return 'Point(x=%s, y=%s)' % (self.x, self.y)
+        def foo(self):
+            print 'foo!'
+
+Now let's see how it got:
+
+    >>> print point()
+    Point(x=10, y=10)
+    >>> point().foo()
+    foo!
+
+Another useful idea is to replace constructors with factory functions:
+
+    _point = point
+
+    def point(x=0, y=0):
+        return _point(x, y)
+
+In this simple case there is not much gained, but for constructurs with
+many overloads and/or arguments this is often a great simplification, again
+with virtually zero memory footprint and zero compile-time overhead for
+the keyword support.
+
+[page:1 Reducing Compiling Time]
+
+If you have ever exported a lot of classes, you know that it takes quite a good
+time to compile the Boost.Python wrappers. Plus the memory consumption can
+easily become too high. If this is causing you problems, you can split the
+class_ definitions in multiple files:
+
+    /* file point.cpp */
+    #include <point.h>
+    #include <boost/python.hpp>
+    
+    void export_point()
+    {
+        class_<point>("point")...;    
+    }
+
+    /* file triangle.cpp */
+    #include <triangle.h>
+    #include <boost/python.hpp>
+
+    void export_triangle()
+    {
+        class_<triangle>("triangle")...;
+    }
+
+Now you create a file [^main.cpp], which contains the [^BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE]
+macro, and call the various export functions inside it. 
+
+    void export_point();
+    void export_triangle();
+    
+    BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(_geom)
+    {
+        export_point();
+        export_triangle();
+    }
+
+Compiling and linking together all this files produces the same result as the
+usual approach:
+
+    #include <boost/python.hpp>
+    #include <point.h>
+    #include <triangle.h>
+
+    BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(_geom)
+    {
+        class_<point>("point")...;
+        class_<triangle>("triangle")...;
+    } 
+
+but the memory is kept under control. 
+
+This method is recommended too if you are developing the C++ library and
+exporting it to Python at the same time: changes in a class will only demand
+the compilation of a single cpp, instead of the entire wrapper code.
+
+[blurb __note__ If you're exporting your classes with [@../../../pyste/index.html Pyste], 
+take a look at the [^--multiple] option, that generates the wrappers in
+various files as demonstrated here.]
+
+[blurb __note__ This method is useful too if you are getting the error message
+['"fatal error C1204:Compiler limit:internal structure overflow"] when compiling
+a large source file, as explained in the [@../../v2/faq.html#c1204 FAQ].]

+    <p>
+      Indexing is a Boost Python facility for easy exportation of indexable
+      C++ containers to Python. Indexable containers are containers that
+      allow random access through the operator[] (e.g. std::vector).
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      While Boost Python has all the facilities needed to expose indexable
+      C++ containers such as the ubiquitous std::vector to Python, the
+      procedure is not as straightforward as we'd like it to be. Python
+      containers do not map easily to C++ containers. Emulating Python
+      containers in C++ (see Python Reference Manual, <a href=
+      "http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/sequence-types.html">Emulating
+      container types</a>) using Boost Python is non trivial. There are a lot
+      of issues to consider before we can map a C++ container to Python.

+      <li>
+        Return safe references from <tt>__getitem__</tt> such that subsequent

+      </p>
+      <p>
+        <strong><tt>convert_index</tt></strong> converts a Python index into
+        a C++ index that the container can handle. For instance, negative
+        indexes in Python, by convention, start counting from the right(e.g.
+        <tt>C[-1]</tt> indexes the rightmost element in <tt>C</tt>).
+        <strong><tt>convert_index</tt></strong> should handle the necessary
+        conversion for the C++ container (e.g. convert <tt>-1</tt> to
+        <tt>C.size()-1</tt>). <tt><strong>convert_index</strong></tt> should
+        also be able to convert the type of the index (A dynamic Python type)
+        to the actual type that the C++ container expects.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        When a container expands or contracts, held indexes to its elements
+        must be adjusted to follow the movement of data. For instance, if we
+        erase 3 elements, starting from index 0 from a 5 element vector, what
+        used to be at index 4 will now be at index 1:
+      </p>

+                 4           1
+</pre>
+      <p>
+        <strong><tt>adjust_index</tt></strong> takes care of the adjustment.
+        Given a current index, the function should return the adjusted index
+        when data in the container at index <tt>from</tt>..<tt>to</tt> is
+        replaced by <tt>len</tt> elements.

+<p>
+  <code>&lt;boost/python/register_ptr_to_python.hpp&gt;</code>
+  supplies <code>register_ptr_to_python</code>, a function template
+  which registers a conversion for smart pointers to Python.  The
+  resulting Python object holds a copy of the converted smart pointer,
+  but behaves as though it were a wrapped copy of the pointee.  If
+  the pointee type has virtual functions and the class representing
+  its dynamic (most-derived) type has been wrapped, the Python object
+  will be an instance of the wrapper for the most-derived type. More than
+  one smart pointer type for a pointee's class can be registered.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Note that in order to convert a Python <code>X</code> object to a
+  <code>smart_ptr&lt;X&gt;&amp;</code> (non-const reference), the embedded C++
+  object must be held by <code>smart_ptr&lt;X&gt;</code>, and that when wrapped
+  objects are created by calling the constructor from Python, how they are held
+  is determined by the <code>HeldType</code> parameter to
+  <code>class_&lt;...&gt;</code> instances.

+<code>boost::shared_ptr&lt;A&gt;</code>.
+
+<pre>
+struct A
+{
+    virtual int f() { return 0; }
+};
+
+shared_ptr&lt;A&gt; New() { return shared_ptr&lt;A&gt;( new A() ); }
+
+int Ok( const shared_ptr&lt;A&gt;&amp; a ) { return a-&gt;f(); }
+
+int Fail( shared_ptr&lt;A&gt;&amp; a ) { return a-&gt;f(); }
+
+struct A_Wrapper: A
+{
+    A_Wrapper(PyObject* self_): self(self_) {}
+    int f() { return call_method&lt;int&gt;(self, "f"); }    
+    int default_f() { return A::f(); }    
+    PyObject* self;
+};
+
+BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(register_ptr)
+{
+    class_&lt;A, A_Wrapper&gt;("A")
+        .def("f", &amp;A::f, &amp;A_Wrapper::default_f)
+    ;
+    
+    def("New", &amp;New);
+    def("Ok", &amp;Call);
+    def("Fail", &amp;Fail);
+    
+    register_ptr_to_python&lt; shared_ptr&lt;A&gt; &gt;();
+} 
+</pre>
+
+<h3>Python Code</h3>
+
+<pre>
+&gt;&gt;&gt; from register_ptr import *
+&gt;&gt;&gt; a = A()
+&gt;&gt;&gt; Ok(a)     # ok, passed as shared_ptr&lt;A&gt;
+0

+TypeError: bad argument type for built-in operation
+&gt;&gt;&gt;
+&gt;&gt;&gt; na = New()   # now "na" is actually a shared_ptr&lt;A&gt; 
+&gt;&gt;&gt; Ok(a)
+0
+&gt;&gt;&gt; Fail(a)
+0
+&gt;&gt;&gt;
+</pre>    
+
+If <code>shared_ptr&lt;A&gt;</code> is registered as follows:
+
+<pre>
+    class_&lt;A, A_Wrapper, shared_ptr&lt;A&gt; &gt;("A")

+    ;            
+</pre>    
+
+There will be an error when trying to convert <code>shared_ptr&lt;A&gt;</code> to
+<code>shared_ptr&lt;A_Wrapper&gt;</code>:

-// Data management for potential rvalue conversions from Python to C++
-// types. When a client requests a conversion to T* or T&, we
-// generally require that an object of type T exists in the source
-// Python object, and the code here does not apply**. This implements
-// conversions which may create new temporaries of type T. The classic
-// example is a conversion which converts a Python tuple to a
-// std::vector. Since no std::vector lvalue exists in the Python
-// object -- it must be created "on-the-fly" by the converter, and
-// which must manage the lifetime of the created object.
-//
-// Note that the client is not precluded from using a registered
-// lvalue conversion to T in this case. In other words, we will
-// happily accept a Python object which /does/ contain a std::vector
-// lvalue, provided an appropriate converter is registered. So, while
-// this is an rvalue conversion from the client's point-of-view, the
-// converter registry may serve up lvalue or rvalue conversions for
-// the target type.
-//
-// ** C++ argument from_python conversions to T const& are an
-// exception to the rule for references: since in C++, const
-// references can bind to temporary rvalues, we allow rvalue
-// converters to be chosen when the target type is T const& for some
-// T.
-namespace boost { namespace python { namespace converter { 
-
-// Conversions begin by filling in and returning a copy of this
-// structure. The process looks up a converter in the rvalue converter
-// registry for the target type. It calls the convertible() function
-// of each registered converter, passing the source PyObject* as an
-// argument, until a non-null result is returned. This result goes in
-// the convertible field, and the converter's construct() function is
-// stored in the construct field.
-//
-// If no appropriate converter is found, conversion fails and the
-// convertible field is null. When used in argument conversion for
-// wrapped C++ functions, it causes overload resolution to reject the
-// current function but not to fail completely. If an exception is
-// thrown, overload resolution stops and the exception propagates back
-// through the caller.
-//
-// If an lvalue converter is matched, its convertible() function is
-// expected to return a pointer to the stored T object; its
-// construct() function will be NULL. The convertible() function of
-// rvalue converters may return any non-singular pointer; the actual
-// target object will only be available once the converter's
-// construct() function is called.
