+Requirements
+============
+
+Boost.Python requires `Python 2.2`_ [#2.2]_ *or* |newer|__.  
+
+.. _Python 2.2: http://www.python.org/2.2
+__ http://www.python.org
+
+Background
+==========
+
+There are two basic models for combining C++ and Python:
+
+- extending_, in which the end-user launches the Python interpreter
+  executable and imports Python “extension modules” written in C++.
+  Think of taking a library written in C++ and giving it a Python
+  interface so Python programmers can use it.  From Python, these
+  modules look just like regular Python modules.
+
+- embedding_, in which the end-user launches a program written
+  in C++ that in turn invokes the Python interpreter as a library
+  subroutine.  Think of adding scriptability to an existing
+  application.
+
+.. _extending: http://www.python.org/doc/current/ext/intro.html
+.. _embedding: http://www.python.org/doc/current/ext/embedding.html
+
+The key distinction between extending and embedding is the location
+of the C++ ``main()`` function: in the Python interpreter executable,
+or in some other program, respectively.  Note that even when
+embedding Python in another program, `extension modules are often
+the best way to make C/C++ functionality accessible to Python
+code`__, so the use of extension modules is really at the heart of
+both models.
+
+__ http://www.python.org/doc/current/ext/extending-with-embedding.html
+
+Except in rare cases, extension modules are built as
+dynamically-loaded libraries with a single entry point, which means
+you can change them without rebuilding either the other extension
+modules or the executable containing ``main()``.
+
+.. _quickstart:
+
+No-Install Quickstart
+=====================
+
+There is no need to “install Boost” in order to get started using
+Boost.Python.  These instructions use Boost.Build_ projects,
+which will build those binaries as soon as they're needed.  Your
+first tests may take a little longer while you wait for
+Boost.Python to build, but doing things this way will save you from
+worrying about build intricacies like which library binaries to use
+for a specific compiler configuration and figuring out the right
+compiler options to use yourself.
+
+.. .. raw:: html
+
+   <div style="width:50%">
+
+.. Note:: Of course it's possible to use other build systems to
+   build Boost.Python and its extensions, but they are not
+   officially supported by Boost.  Moreover **99% of all “I can't
+   build Boost.Python” problems come from trying to use another
+   build system** without first following these instructions.
+
+   If you want to use another system anyway, we suggest that you
+   follow these instructions, and then invoke ``bjam`` with the
+
+   .. parsed-literal::
+
+     ``-a -o``\ *filename* 
+
+   options to dump the build commands it executes to a file, so
+   you can see what your alternate build system needs to do.
+
+.. .. raw:: html
+ 
+   </div>
+
+.. _Boost.Build: ../../../tools/build/index.html
+
+Basic Procedure
+---------------
+
+1. Get Boost; see sections 1 and 2 [`Unix/Linux`__, `Windows`__\ ] of the
+   Boost `Getting Started Guide`_.
+
+   __ ../../../more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#get-boost
+   __ ../../../more/getting_started/windows.html#get-boost
+
+2. Get the ``bjam`` build driver.  See section 5 [`Unix/Linux`__,
+   `Windows`__\ ] of the Boost `Getting Started Guide`_.
+
+   __ ../../../more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#prepare-to-use-a-boost-library-binary
+   __ ../../../more/getting_started/windows.html#prepare-to-use-a-boost-library-binary
+
+
+3. cd into the ``libs/python/example/quickstart/`` directory of your
+   Boost installation, which contains a small example project.
+
+4. Invoke ``bjam``.  Replace the “\ ``stage``\ “ argument from the
+   example invocation from section 5 of the `Getting Started
+   Guide`_ with “\ ``test``\ ,“ to build all the test targets.  Also add
+   the argument “\ ``--verbose-test``\ ” to see the output generated by
+   the tests when they are run.
+
+   On Windows, your ``bjam`` invocation might look something like:
+
+   .. parsed-literal::
+
+     C:\\boost_1_34_0\\…\\quickstart> **bjam toolset=msvc --verbose-test test**
+
+   and on Unix variants, perhaps,
+
+   .. parsed-literal::
+
+     ~/boost_1_34_0/…/quickstart$ **bjam toolset=gcc --verbose-test test**
+
+.. Admonition:: Note to Windows Users
+
+   For the sake of concision, the rest of this guide will use
+   unix-style forward slashes in pathnames instead of the
+   backslashes with which you may be more familiar.  The forward
+   slashes should work everywhere except in `Command Prompt`_
+   windows, where you should use backslashes.
+
+   .. _Command Prompt: ../../../more/getting_started/windows.html#command-prompt
+
+If you followed this procedure successfully, you will have built an
+extension module called ``extending`` and tested it by running a
+Python script called ``test_extending.py``.  You will also have
+built and run a simple application called ``embedding`` that embeds
+python.
+
+.. _Getting Started Guide: ../../../more/getting_started/index.html
+
+In Case of Trouble
+------------------
+
+If you're seeing lots of compiler and/or linker error messages,
+it's probably because Boost.Build is having trouble finding your
+Python installation.  You might want to pass the
+``--debug-configuration`` option to ``bjam`` the first few times
+you invoke it, to make sure that Boost.Build is correctly locating
+all the parts of your Python installation.  If it isn't, consider
+`Configuring Boost.Build`_ as detailed below.
+
+If you're still having trouble, Someone on one of the following
+mailing lists may be able to help:
+
+* The `Boost.Build mailing list`__ for issues related to Boost.Build
+* The Python `C++ Sig`__ for issues specifically related to Boost.Python
+
+__ http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#jamboost
+__ http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#cplussig
+
+In Case Everything Seemed to Work
+---------------------------------
+
+Rejoice!  If you're new to Boost.Python, at this point it might be
+a good idea to ignore build issues for a while and concentrate on
+learning the library by going through the tutorial_ and perhaps
+some of the `reference documentation`_, trying out what you've
+learned about the API by modifying the quickstart project.
+
+.. _reference documentation: v2/reference.html
+.. _tutorial: tutorial/index.html
+
+Modifying the Example Project
+-----------------------------
+
+If you're content to keep your extension module forever in one
+source file called |extending.cpp|_, inside your Boost
+distribution, and import it forever as ``extending``, then you can
+stop here.  However, it's likely that you will want to make a few
+changes.  There are a few things you can do without having to learn
+Boost.Build_ in depth.
+
+The project you just built is specified in two files in the current
+directory: |boost-build.jam|_, which tells ``bjam`` where it can
+find the interpreted code of the Boost build system, and
+|Jamroot|_, which describes the targets you just built.  These
+files are heavily commented, so they should be easy to modify.
+Take care, however, to preserve whitespace.  Punctuation such as
+``;`` will not be recognized as intended by ``bjam`` if it is not
+surrounded by whitespace.
+
+.. |boost-build.jam| replace:: ``boost-build.jam``
+.. _boost-build.jam: ../example/quickstart/boost-build.jam
+
+.. |Jamroot| replace:: ``Jamroot``
+.. _Jamroot: ../example/quickstart/Jamroot
+
+.. |extending.cpp| replace:: ``extending.cpp``
+.. _extending.cpp: ../example/quickstart/extending.cpp
+
+Relocate the Project
+....................
+
+You'll probably want to copy this project elsewhere so you can
+change it without modifying your Boost distribution.  To do that,
+simply
+
+a. copy the entire ``libs/python/example/quickstart/`` directory
+   into a new directory.
+
+b. In the new copies of |boost-build.jam|_ and |Jamroot|_, locate
+   the relative path near the top of the file that is clearly
+   marked by a comment, and edit that path so that it refers to the
+   same directory your Boost distribution as it referred to when
+   the file was in its original location in the
+   ``libs/python/example/quickstart/`` directory.
+
+For example, if you moved the project from
+``/home/dave/boost_1_34_0/libs/python/example/quickstart`` to
+``/home/dave/my-project``, you could change the first path in
+|boost-build.jam|_ from
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+  **../../../..**\ /tools/build/v2
+
+to
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+  **/home/dave/boost_1_34_0**\ /tools/build/v2
+
+and change the first path in |Jamroot|_ from
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+  **../../../..**
+
+to
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+  **/home/dave/boost_1_34_0**
+
+Add New or Change Names of Existing Source Files
+................................................
+
+The names of additional source files involved in building your
+extension module or embedding application can be listed in
+|Jamroot|_ right alongside ``extending.cpp`` or ``embedding.cpp``
+respectively.  Just be sure to leave whitespace around each
+filename::
+
+  … file1.cpp file2.cpp file3.cpp …
+
+Naturally, if you want to change the name of a source file you can
+tell Boost.Build about it by editing the name in |Jamroot|_.
+
+Change the Name of your Extension Module
+........................................
+
+The name of the extension module is determined by two things:
+
+1. the name in |Jamroot|_ immediately following ``python-extension``, and 
+2. the name passed to ``BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE`` in |extending.cpp|_.
+
+To change the name of the extension module from ``extending`` to
+``hello``, you'd edit |Jamroot|_, changing
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+  python-extension **extending** : extending.cpp ;
+
+to
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+  python-extension **hello** : extending.cpp ;
+
+and you'd edit extending.cpp, changing
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+  BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(\ **extending**\ )
+
+to
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+  BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(\ **hello**\ )
+
+Installing Boost.Python on your System
+======================================
+
+Since Boost.Python is a separately-compiled (as opposed to
+`header-only`_) library, its user relies on the services of a
+Boost.Python library binary.  
+
+.. _header-only: ../../../more/getting_started/windows.html#header-only-libraries
+
+If you need a regular installation of the Boost.Python library
+binaries on your system, the Boost `Getting Started Guide`_ will
+walk you through the steps of creating one.  If building binaries
+from source, you might want to supply the ``--with-python``
+argument to ``bjam`` (or the ``--with-libraries=python`` argument
+to ``configure``), so only the Boost.Python binary will be built,
+rather than all the Boost binaries.
+
+
+Configuring Boost.Build
+=======================
+
+As described in the `Boost.Build reference manual`__, a file called
+``user-config.jam`` in your home directory [#home-dir]_ is used to
+specify the tools and libraries available to the build system. You
+may need to create or edit ``user-config.jam`` to tell Boost.Build
+how to invoke Python, ``#include`` its headers, and link with its
+libraries.

+   If you are using a unix-variant OS and you ran Boost's
+   ``configure`` script, it may have generated a
+   ``user-config.jam`` for you. [#overwrite]_ If your ``configure``\
+   /\ ``make`` sequence was successful and Boost.Python binaries
+   were built, your ``user-config.jam`` file is probably already
+   correct.
+
+If you have one fairly “standard” python installation for your
+platform, you might not need to do anything special to describe it.  If
+you haven't configured python in ``user-config.jam`` (and you don't
+specify ``--without-python`` on the Boost.Build command line),
+Boost.Build will automatically execute the equivalent of ::
+
+  import toolset : using ; 
+  using python ;
+
+which automatically looks for Python in the most likely places.
+However, that only happens when using the Boost.Python project file
+(e.g. when referred to by another project as in the quickstart_
+method).  If instead you are linking against separately-compiled
+Boost.Python binaries, you should set up a ``user-config.jam`` file
+with at least the minimal incantation above.
+
+Python Configuration Parameters
+-------------------------------
+
+If you have several versions of Python installed, or Python is
+installed in an unusual way, you may want to supply any or all of
+the following optional parameters to ``using python``.
+
+version
+  the version of Python to use.  Should be in Major.Minor
+  format, for example, ``2.3``.  Do not include the subminor
+  version (i.e. *not* ``2.5.1``).  If you have multiple Python
+  versions installed, the version will usually be the only
+  configuration argument required.
+
+cmd-or-prefix
+  preferably, a command that invokes a Python interpreter.
+  Alternatively, the installation prefix for Python libraries and
+  header files.  Only use the alternative formulation if there is
+  no appropriate Python executable available.
+
+includes
+  the ``#include`` paths for Python headers.  Normally the correct
+  path(s) will be automatically deduced from ``version`` and/or
+  ``cmd-or-prefix``.  
+
+libraries
+  the path to Python library binaries.  On MacOS/Darwin,
+  you can also pass the path of the Python framework.  Normally the
+  correct path(s) will be automatically deduced from ``version``
+  and/or ``cmd-or-prefix``. 
+
+condition
+  if specified, should be a set of Boost.Build
+  properties that are matched against the build configuration when
+  Boost.Build selects a Python configuration to use.  See examples
+  below for details.
+
+extension-suffix
+  A string to append to the name of extension
+  modules before the true filename extension.  You almost certainly
+  don't need to use this.  Usually this suffix is only used when
+  targeting a Windows debug build of Python, and will be set
+  automatically for you based on the value of the
+  |python-debugging|_ feature.  However, at least one Linux
+  distribution (Ubuntu Feisty Fawn) has a specially configured
+  `python-dbg`__ package that claims to use such a suffix.
+
+.. |python-debugging| replace:: ``<python-debugging>``

+
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Note that in the examples below, case and *especially whitespace* are
+significant.
+
+- If you have both python 2.5 and python 2.4 installed,
+  ``user-config.jam`` might contain::
+  
+    using python : 2.5 ;  # Make both versions of Python available 
+
+    using python : 2.4 ;  # To build with python 2.4, add python=2.4 
+                          # to your command line.
+
+  The first version configured (2.5) becomes the default.  To build
+  against python 2.4, add ``python=2.4`` to the ``bjam`` command line.
+
+- If you have python installed in an unusual location, you might
+  supply the path to the interpreter in the ``cmd-or-prefix``
+  parameter::
+
+    using python : : /usr/local/python-2.6-beta/bin/python ;
+
+- If you have a separate build of Python for use with a particular
+  toolset, you might supply that toolset in the ``condition``
+  parameter::
+
+    using python ;  # use for most toolsets
+    
+    # Use with Intel C++ toolset
+    using python 
+         : # version
+         : c:\\Devel\\Python-2.5-IntelBuild\\PCBuild\\python # cmd-or-prefix
+         : # includes
+         : # libraries
+         : <toolset>intel # condition
+         ;
+
+
+- If you have downloaded the Python sources and built both the
+  normal and the “\ `python debugging`_\ ” builds from source on
+  Windows, you might see::
+
+    using python : 2.5 : C:\\src\\Python-2.5\\PCBuild\\python ;
+    using python : 2.5 : C:\\src\\Python-2.5\\PCBuild\\python_d
+      : # includes
+      : # libs
+      : <python-debugging>on ;
+
+- You can set up your user-config.jam so a bjam built under Windows 
+  can build/test both Windows and Cygwin_ python extensions.  Just pass
+  ``<target-os>cygwin`` in the ``condition`` parameter
+  for the cygwin python installation::
+
+    # windows installation
+    using python ;
+
+    # cygwin installation
+    using python : : c:\\cygwin\\bin\\python2.5 : : : <target-os>cygwin ;
+
+  when you put target-os=cygwin in your build request, it should build
+  with the cygwin version of python: [#flavor]_
+
+    bjam target-os=cygwin toolset=gcc 
+
+  This is supposed to work the other way, too (targeting windows
+  python with a Cygwin_ bjam) but it seems as though the support in
+  Boost.Build's toolsets for building that way is broken at the
+  time of this writing.
+
+- Note that because of `the way Boost.Build currently selects target
+  alternatives`__, you might have be very explicit in your build
+  requests.  For example, given::
+
+    using python : 2.5 ; # a regular windows build
+    using python : 2.4 : : : : <target-os>cygwin ;
+
+  building with ::
+
+    bjam target-os=cygwin
+
+  will yield an error.  Instead, you'll need to write::
+
+    bjam target-os=cygwin/python=2.4

+
+Choosing a Boost.Python Library Binary
+======================================
+
+If—instead of letting Boost.Build construct and link with the right
+libraries automatically—you choose to use a pre-built Boost.Python
+library, you'll need to think about which one to link with.  The
+Boost.Python binary comes in both static and dynamic flavors.  Take
+care to choose the right flavor for your application. [#naming]_
+
+The Dynamic Binary
+------------------
+
+The dynamic library is the safest and most-versatile choice:
+
+- A single copy of the library code is used by all extension
+  modules built with a given toolset. [#toolset-specific]_
+
+- The library contains a type conversion registry.  Because one
+  registry is shared among all extension modules, instances of a
+  class exposed to Python in one dynamically-loaded extension
+  module can be passed to functions exposed in another such module.
+
+The Static Binary
+-----------------
+
+It might be appropriate to use the static Boost.Python library in
+any of the following cases:
+
+- You are extending_ python and the types exposed in your
+  dynamically-loaded extension module don't need to be used by any
+  other Boost.Python extension modules, and you don't care if the
+  core library code is duplicated among them.
+
+- You are embedding_ python in your application and either:
+
+  - You are targeting a Unix variant OS other than MacOS or AIX,
+    where the dynamically-loaded extension modules can “see” the
+    Boost.Python library symbols that are part of the executable.
+
+  - Or, you have statically linked some Boost.Python extension
+    modules into your application and you don't care if any
+    dynamically-loaded Boost.Python extension modules are able to
+    use the types exposed by your statically-linked extension
+    modules (and vice-versa).
+
+``#include`` Issues
+===================
+
+1. If you should ever have occasion to ``#include "python.h"``
+   directly in a translation unit of a program using Boost.Python,
+   use ``#include "boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp"`` instead.
+   It handles several issues necessary for use with Boost.Python,
+   one of which is mentioned in the next section.
+
+2. Be sure not to ``#include`` any system headers before
+   ``wrap_python.hpp``.  This restriction is actually imposed by
+   Python, or more properly, by Python's interaction with your
+   operating system.  See
+   http://docs.python.org/ext/simpleExample.html for details.
+
+.. _python-debugging:
+.. _python debugging:
+
+Python Debugging Builds
+=======================
+
+Python can be built in a special “python debugging” configuration
+that adds extra checks and instrumentation that can be very useful
+for developers of extension modules.  The data structures used by
+the debugging configuration contain additional members, so **a
+Python executable built with python debugging enabled cannot be
+used with an extension module or library compiled without it, and
+vice-versa.**
+
+Since pre-built “python debugging” versions of the Python
+executable and libraries are not supplied with most distributions
+of Python, [#get-debug-build]_ and we didn't want to force our users
+to build them, Boost.Build does not automatically enable python
+debugging in its ``debug`` build variant (which is the default).
+Instead there is a special build property called
+``python-debugging`` that, when used as a build property, will
+define the right preprocessor symbols and select the right
+libraries to link with.
+
+On unix-variant platforms, the debugging versions of Python's data
+structures will only be used if the symbol ``Py_DEBUG`` is defined.
+On many windows compilers, when extension modules are built with
+the preprocessor symbol ``_DEBUG``, Python defaults to force
+linking with a special debugging version of the Python DLL.  Since
+that symbol is very commonly used even when Python is not present,
+Boost.Python temporarily undefines _DEBUG when Python.h
+is #included from ``boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp`` - unless
+``BOOST_DEBUG_PYTHON`` is defined.  The upshot is that if you want
+“python debugging”and you aren't using Boost.Build, you should make
+sure ``BOOST_DEBUG_PYTHON`` is defined, or python debugging will be
+suppressed.
+
+Testing Boost.Python
+====================
+
+To run the full test suite for Boost.Python, invoke ``bjam`` in the
+``libs/python/test`` subdirectory of your Boost distribution.
+
+Notes for MinGW (and Cygwin with -mno-cygwin) GCC Users
+=======================================================
+
+If you are using a version of Python prior to 2.4.1 with a MinGW
+prior to 3.0.0 (with binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1), you will need to
+create a MinGW-compatible version of the Python library; the one
+shipped with Python will only work with a Microsoft-compatible
+linker. Follow the instructions in the “Non-Microsoft” section of
+the “Building Extensions: Tips And Tricks” chapter in `Installing
+Python Modules`__ to create ``libpythonXX.a``, where ``XX``
+corresponds to the major and minor version numbers of your Python
+installation.
+
+__ http://www.python.org/doc/current/inst/index.html
+
+-----------------------------
+
+.. [#2.2] Note that although we tested earlier versions of
+   Boost.Python with Python 2.2, and we don't *think* we've done
+   anything to break compatibility, this release of Boost.Python
+   may not have been tested with versions of Python earlier than
+   2.4, so we're not 100% sure that python 2.2 and 2.3 are
+   supported.
+
+.. [#naming] Information about how to identify the
+   static and dynamic builds of Boost.Python:
+
+   * `on Windows`__
+   * `on Unix variants`__
+
+   __ ../../../more/getting_started/windows.html#library-naming
+   __ ../../../more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#library-naming
+
+.. [#toolset-specific] Because of the way most \*nix platforms
+   share symbols among dynamically-loaded objects, I'm not certain
+   that extension modules built with different compiler toolsets
+   will always use different copies of the Boost.Python library
+   when loaded into the same Python instance.  Not using different
+   libraries could be a good thing if the compilers have compatible
+   ABIs, because extension modules built with the two libraries
+   would be interoperable.  Otherwise, it could spell disaster,
+   since an extension module and the Boost.Python library would
+   have different ideas of such things as class layout. I would
+   appreciate someone doing the experiment to find out what
+   happens.
+
+.. [#overwrite] ``configure`` overwrites the existing
+   ``user-config.jam`` in your home directory
+   (if any) after making a backup of the old version.
+
+.. [#flavor] Note that the ``<target-os>cygwin`` feature is
+   different from the ``<flavor>cygwin`` subfeature of the ``gcc``
+   toolset, and you might need handle both explicitly if you also
+   have a MinGW GCC installed.
+
+.. [#home-dir] Windows users, your home directory can be
+   found by typing::
+
+     ECHO %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
+
+   into a `command prompt`_ window.
+
+.. [#get-debug-build] On Unix and similar platforms, a debugging
+   python and associated libraries are built by adding
+   ``--with-pydebug`` when configuring the Python build. On
+   Windows, the debugging version of Python is generated by
+   the "Win32 Debug" target of the Visual Studio project in the
+   PCBuild subdirectory of a full Python source code distribution.

-        <blockquote>
-          We have a large C++ analytical library specialized for research in
-          finance and economics, built for speed and mission critical
-          stability. Yet Python offers us the flexibility to test out new
-          ideas quickly and increase the productivity of our time versus
-          working in C++. There are several key features which make Python
-          stand out. Its elegance, stability, and breadth of resources on the
-          web are all valuable, but the most important is its extensibility,
-          due to its open source transparency. Boost.Python makes Python
-          extensibility extremely simple and straightforward, yet preserves a
-          great deal of power and control.

+
+      <p>The cctbx grew together with Boost.Python and is designed from the
+      ground up as a hybrid Python/C++ system. With one minor exception,
+      run-time polymorphism is completely handled by Python. C++ compile-time
+      polymorphism is used to implement performance critical algorithms. The

+      Rational Discovery provides computational modeling, combinatorial
+      library design and custom software development services to the
+      pharmaceutical, biotech and chemical industries. We do a substantial
+      amount of internal research to develop new approaches for applying
+      machine-learning techniques to solve chemical problems. Because we're a
+      small organization and chemistry is a large and complex field, it is
+      essential that we be able to quickly and easily prototype and test new
+      algorithms.
+
+      <p>For our internal software, we implement core data structures in C
+      and expose them to Python using Boost.Python. Algorithm development is
+      done in Python and then translated to C if required (often it's not).
+      This hybrid development approach not only greatly increases our
+      productivity, but it also allows "non-developers" (people without C
+      experience) to take part in method development. Learning C is a
+      daunting task, but "Python fits your brain." (Thanks to Bruce Eckel for

-As you probably already know, objects in Python are reference-counted.
-Naturally, the <tt class="literal">PyObject</tt>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
-<a href="http://www.python.org/doc/current/api/refcounts.html" target="_top">by hand</a>. This is
-messy and especially hard to get right in the presence of C++ exceptions.
-Fortunately Boost.Python provides the <a href="../../../../v2/handle.html" target="_top">handle</a> and
-<a href="../../../../v2/object.html" target="_top">object</a> class templates to automate the process.</p>
-<a name="using_the_interpreter.reference_counting_handles_and_objects"></a><h2>
-<a name="id456409"></a>Reference-counting handles and objects</h2>

-There are two ways in which a function in the Python/C API can return a
-<tt class="literal">PyObject*</tt>: as a <span class="emphasis"><em>borrowed reference</em></span> or as a <span class="emphasis"><em>new reference</em></span>. 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.</p>
-<p>

+        As you probably already know, objects in Python are reference-counted. Naturally,
+        the <tt class="literal">PyObject</tt>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<span class="emphasis"><em>C API requires you to do it [@http:</em></span>/www.python.org/doc/current/api/refcounts.html
+        by hand]. This is messy and especially hard to get right in the presence

+        and <a href="../../../../v2/object.html" target="_top">object</a> class templates to

+        The only way to access the class' data is through access (getter/setter)
+        functions. Access functions expose class properties. Here's an example:

+      to achieve that. We will use the build tool that comes bundled with every boost

 Fortunately Boost.Python provides the [@../../../v2/handle.html handle] and
 [@../../../v2/object.html object] class templates to automate the process.
 
-[h2 Reference-counting handles and objects]
-
-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:
-
-    object main_module((
-        handle<>(borrowed(PyImport_AddModule("__main__")))));
-
-    object main_namespace = main_module.attr("__dict__");
-
-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 __note__ [*Handle is a class ['template], so why haven't we been using any template parameters?]\n
-\n
-[^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:
+Boost.python provides three related functions to run Python code from C++.
 
-    PyObject* PyRun_String(char *str, int start, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals)
+    object eval(str expression, object globals = object(), object locals = object())
+    object exec(str code, object globals = object(), object locals = object())
+    object exec_file(str filename, object globals = object(), object locals = object())
 
-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.
+eval evaluates the given expression and returns the resulting value.
+exec executes the given code (typically a set of statements) returning the result,
+and exec_file executes the code contained in the given file.
 
-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
+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:
+Boost.python provides a function to import a module:
 
-    object main_module((
-        handle<>(borrowed(PyImport_AddModule("__main__")))));
+    object import(str name)
 
+import imports a python module (potentially loading it into the running process
+first), and returns it.
+
+Let's import the [^__main__] module and run some Python code in its namespace:
+
+    object main_module = import("__main__");
     object main_namespace = main_module.attr("__dict__");
 
-    handle<> ignored((PyRun_String(
-
-        "hello = file('hello.txt', 'w')\n"
-        "hello.write('Hello world!')\n"
-        "hello.close()"
-
-      , Py_file_input
-      , main_namespace.ptr()
-      , main_namespace.ptr())
-    ));
-
-Because the Python/C API doesn't know anything about [^object]s, we used
-the object's [^ptr] member function to retrieve the [^PyObject*].
+    object ignored = exec("hello = file('hello.txt', 'w')\n"
+                          "hello.write('Hello world!')\n"
+                          "hello.close()",
+                          main_namespace);
 
 This should create a file called 'hello.txt' in the current directory
 containing a phrase that is well-known in programming circles.
 
-[blurb
-    __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 Manipulating Python objects]
 
-[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
-above, and in the [@python/object.html previous section]: the aptly
-named [^object] class and it's derivatives. We've already seen that they
-can be constructed from a [^handle]. The following examples should further
-illustrate this fact:
-
-    object main_module((
-         handle<>(borrowed(PyImport_AddModule("__main__")))));

-    ));
-
+    object ignored = exec("result = 5 ** 2", main_namespace);
     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()))
-    ));
+the dictionary. Another way to achieve the same result is to use eval instead,
+which returns the result directly:
 
+    object result = eval("5 ** 2");
     int five_squared = extract<int>(result);
 
-[blurb
-    __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],

+  <p>Boost.Python supports user-defined docstrings with automatic

+  <p>Boost.Python supports docstrings with automatic
