+        exponent vectors, as well as for the underlying polynomial

        As you probably already know, objects in Python are reference-counted. Naturally,

-<p>
-        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

-      </p>
-<p>
-        For a function returning a <span class="emphasis"><em>borrowed reference</em></span> we'll
-        have to tell the <tt class="literal">handle</tt> that the <tt class="literal">PyObject*</tt>
-        is borrowed with the aptly named <a href="../../../../v2/handle.html#borrowed-spec" target="_top">borrowed</a>

-        and <a href="http://www.python.org/doc/current/api/moduleObjects.html#l2h-594" target="_top">PyModule_GetDict</a>.
-        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

 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] 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);

+
+  <p>Boost.Python supports docstrings with automatic
+  appending of Pythonic and C++ signatures. This feature is implemented 
+  by <code>class function_doc_signature_generator</code>
+  The class uses all of the overloads, supplied arg names and default values, as well as 
+  the user-defined docstrings, to generate documentation for a given function.</p>

+    "http://www.python.org/doc/2.2/ext/dnt-basics.html">noddy example
+    module</a> from the Python documentation, and placed the corresponding
+    declarations in <code>"noddy.h"</code>. Because
+    <code>noddy_NoddyObject</code> is the ultimate trivial extension type,
+    the example is a bit contrived: it wraps a function for which all
+    information is contained in the <i>type</i> of its return value.
+
+    <h3>C++ module definition</h3>

Excerpts: If char const* is passed to objecjt.attr(), it uses PyObject_GetAttrStrng() or PyObject_SetAttrStrng(). If object is passed to objecjt.attr(), it takes the object as a Python string object and uses PyObject_GetAttr() or PyObject_SetAttr(). If attr() behaves like this, it can be useful when there are lots of objects which you know have the same attribute name. You can save time by first making a boost::python::object and passing it to every object's attr() inside a loop. I just made a bit of modification to boost:python locally and did a quick test, like test 1: for(int i = 0; i < n; ++i) { omain.attr(attrname) = 444; //attrname is a char const* } test 2: for(int i = 0; i < n; ++i) { object o = omain.attr(attrname); //attrname is a char const* } test 3: for(int i = 0; i < n; ++i) { omain.attr(oaaaa) = 444; //oaaaa is boost::python::object that represents a string } test 4: for(int i = 0; i < n; ++i) { object o = omain.attr(oaaaa); //oaaaa is boost::python::object that represents a string } and it reasonably reflected the difference between PyObject_Attr() and PyObject_AttrString. test 1 :2783ms test 2 :2357ms test 3 :1882ms test 4 :1267ms test5: PyObject_SetAttrString(po_main, "aaaa", po_num444); test6: Py_DECREF(PyObject_GetAttrString(po_main, "aaaa")); test7: PyObject_SetAttr(po_main, po_aaaa, po_num444); test8: Py_DECREF(PyObject_GetAttr(po_main, po_aaaa)); (po_ prefixed variables are PyObject*), all inside each for loop, and the results were test 5 :2410ms test 6 :2277ms test 7 :1629ms test 8 :1094ms It's boost 1.35.0, Python 2.5 on linux(gcc4.1.2). I also did the same test on windows(vs8) and the tendency was not so different. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r45920 \| rwgk \| 2008-05-29 16:04:19 -0400 (Thu, 29 May 2008) \| 1 line Projects using Boost.Python: PolyBoRi (text provided by Michael Brickenstein) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r46115 \| schoepflin \| 2008-06-04 11:11:05 -0400 (Wed, 04 Jun 2008) \| 1 line Added missing ostream header file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r46445 \| dgregor \| 2008-06-17 09:54:46 -0400 (Tue, 17 Jun 2008) \| 1 line Add mime-type and eol-style properties as needed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r46721 \| dave \| 2008-06-26 12:41:34 -0400 (Thu, 26 Jun 2008) \| 2 lines Compatibility with Apache STDCXX library.
