-      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
-      the quote.)</p>

+When you want a `boost::python::object` to manage a pointer to `PyObject*` pyobj one does:
+
+    boost::python::object o(boost::python::handle<>(pyobj));
+
+In this case, the `o` object, manages the `pyobj`, it won’t increase the reference count on construction.
+
+Otherwise, to use a borrowed reference:
+
+    boost::python::object o(boost::python::handle<>(boost::python::borrowed(pyobj)));
+
+In this case, `Py_INCREF` is called, so `pyobj` is not destructed when object o goes out of scope.
