-    <h2>Synopsis</h2>
-    Welcome to version 2 of <b>Boost.Python</b>, a C++ library which enables
-    seamless interoperability between C++ and the <a href=
-    "http://www.python.org">Python</a> programming language. The new version
-    has been rewritten from the ground up, with a more convenient and
-    flexible interface, and many new capabilities, including support for: 
-
-    <ul>
-      <li>References and Pointers</li>
-
-      <li>Globally Registered Type Coercions</li>
-
-      <li>Automatic Cross-Module Type Conversions</li>
-
-      <li>Efficient Function Overloading</li>
-
-      <li>C++ to Python Exception Translation</li>
-
-      <li>Default Arguments</li>

+Pyste - Python Semi-Automatic Exporter
+======================================
+
+Pyste is a Boost.Python code generator. The user specifies the classes and
+functions to be exported using a simple interface file, which following the
+Boost.Python's philosophy, is simple Python code. Pyste then uses GCCXML to
+parse all the headers and extract the necessary information to automatically
+generate C++ code.
+
+The documentation can be found in the file index.html accompaning this README.
+
+Enjoy!
+Bruno da Silva de Oliveira (nicodemus@globalite.com.br)
+
+Thanks
+======
+
+- David Abrahams, creator of Boost.Python, for tips on the syntax of the interface
+  file and support.
+- Marcelo Camelo, for design tips, support and inspiration for this project.
+  Also, the name was his idea. 8)
+- Brad King, creator of the excellent GCCXML (http://www.gccxml.org)
+- Fredrik Lundh, creator of the elementtree library (http://effbot.org)
+
+Bugs
+====
+
+Pyste is a young tool, so please help it to get better! Send bug reports to
+nicodemus@globalite.com.br, accompaining the stack trace in case of exceptions.
+If possible, run pyste with --debug, and send the resulting xmls too (pyste
+will output a xml file with the same of each header it parsed).

+</span></pre></code>
+<p>
+You can just use the <tt>AllFromHeader</tt> construct:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=identifier>hello </span><span class=special>= </span><span class=identifier>AllFromHeader</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;hello.h&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+</span></pre></code>
+<p>
+this will export all the declarations found in <tt>hello.h</tt>, which is equivalent
+to write:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=identifier>Class</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;World&quot;</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;hello.h&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+    </span><span class=identifier>Enum</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;choice&quot;</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;hello.h&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+    </span><span class=identifier>Function</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;show&quot;</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;hello.h&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+</span></pre></code>
+<p>
+Note that you can still use the functions <tt>rename</tt>, <tt>set_policy</tt>, <tt>exclude</tt>, etc. Just access
+the members of the header object like this:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=identifier>rename</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>hello</span><span class=special>.</span><span class=identifier>World</span><span class=special>.</span><span class=identifier>greet</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;Greet&quot;</span><span class=special>)

+Let's borrow the class <tt>World</tt> from the <a href="../../doc/tutorial/doc/exposing_classes.html">
+tutorial</a>: </p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=keyword>struct </span><span class=identifier>World
+    </span><span class=special>{

+<p>
+Here's the interface file for it, named <tt>world.pyste</tt>:</p>
+<code><pre>

+<p>
+and that's it!</p>
+<p>
+The next step is invoke Pyste in the command-line:</p>
+<code><pre>python pyste.py --module=hello world.pyste</pre></code><p>

+Even thought Pyste can identify various elements in the C++ code, like virtual
+methods, attributes, and so on, one thing that it can't do is to guess the
+semantics of functions that return pointers or references. In this case, the
+user must manually specify the policy. Policies are explained in the
+<a href="../../doc/tutorial/doc/call_policies.html">
+tutorial</a>.</p>
+<p>
+The policies in Pyste are named exactly as in <a href="../../index.html">
+Boost.Python</a>, only the syntax is
+slightly different. For instance, this policy:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=identifier>return_internal_reference</span><span class=special>&lt;</span><span class=number>1</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=identifier>with_custodian_and_ward</span><span class=special>&lt;</span><span class=number>1</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=number>2</span><span class=special>&gt; &gt;()
+</span></pre></code>
+<p>
+becomes in Pyste:    </p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=identifier>return_internal_reference</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=number>1</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=identifier>with_custodian_and_ward</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=number>1</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=number>2</span><span class=special>))
+</span></pre></code>
+<p>
+The user can specify policies for functions and methods with the <tt>set_policy</tt>
+function:</p>

+[def Boost.Python       [@../../index.html Boost.Python]]
+
+[page Introduction]
+
+[h2 What is Pyste?]
+
+Pyste is a Boost.Python code generator. The user specifies the classes and
+functions to be exported using a simple ['interface file], which following the
+Boost.Python's philosophy, is simple Python code. Pyste then uses GCCXML to
+parse all the headers and extract the necessary information to automatically
+generate C++ code.
+
+[h2 Example]
+
+Let's borrow the class [^World] from the [@../../doc/tutorial/doc/exposing_classes.html tutorial]: 
+
+    struct World
+    {
+        void set(std::string msg) { this->msg = msg; }
+        std::string greet() { return msg; }
+        std::string msg;
+    };
+
+Here's the interface file for it, named [^world.pyste]:
+
+    Class("World", "world.h")
+
+and that's it!
+
+The next step is invoke Pyste in the command-line:
+
+[pre python pyste.py --module=hello world.pyste]
+
+this will create a file "[^hello.cpp]" in the directory where the command was
+run. 
+
+Pyste supports the following features:
+
+* Functions
+* Classes
+* Class Templates
+* Virtual Methods
+* Overloading
+* Attributes 
+* Enums (both "free" enums and class enums)
+* Nested Classes
+* Support for [^boost::shared_ptr] and [^std::auto_ptr]
+
+[page Running Pyste]
+
+To run Pyste, you will need:
+
+* Python 2.2, available at [@http://www.python.org python's website].
+* The great [@http://effbot.org elementtree] library, from Fredrik Lundh.
+* The excellent GCCXML, from Brad King.
+
+Installation for the tools is available in their respective webpages.
+
+[blurb 
+[$theme/note.gif] GCCXML must be accessible in the PATH environment variable, so
+that Pyste can call it. How to do this varies from platform to platform.
+]
+
+[h2 Ok, now what?]
+
+Well, now let's fire it up:
+
+[pre 
+'''
+>python pyste.py
+
+Pyste version 0.6.5
+
+Usage:
+    pyste [options] --module=<name> interface-files
+
+where options are:
+    -I <path>           add an include path    
+    -D <symbol>         define symbol    
+    --multiple          create various cpps, instead of only one 
+                        (useful during development)                        
+    --out               specify output filename (default: <module>.cpp)
+                        in --multiple mode, this will be a directory
+    --no-using          do not declare "using namespace boost";
+                        use explicit declarations instead
+    --pyste-ns=<name>   set the namespace where new types will be declared;
+                        default is the empty namespace
+    --debug             writes the xml for each file parsed in the current
+                        directory
+    -h, --help          print this help and exit
+    -v, --version       print version information      
+'''                        
+]
+
+Options explained:
+
+The [^-I] and [^-D] are preprocessor flags, which are needed by GCCXML to parse
+the header files correctly and by Pyste to find the header files declared in the
+interface files.
+
+[^--multiple] tells Pyste to generate multiple cpps for this module (one for
+each header parsed) in the directory named by [^--out], instead of the usual
+single cpp file. This mode is useful during development of a binding, because
+you are constantly changing source files, re-generating the bindings and
+recompiling. This saves a lot of time in compiling.
+
+[^--out] names the output file (default: [^<module>.cpp]), or in multiple mode,
+names a output directory for the files (default: [^<module>]).
+
+[^--no-using] tells Pyste to don't declare "[^using namespace boost;]" in the
+generated cpp, using the namespace boost::python explicitly in all declarations.
+Use only if you're having a name conflict in one of the files.
+
+Use [^--pyste-ns] to change the namespace where new types are declared (for
+instance, the virtual wrappers). Use only if you are having any problems. By
+default, Pyste uses the empty namespace.
+
+[^--debug] will write in the current directory a xml file as outputted by GCCXML
+for each header parsed. Useful for bug reports.
+
+[^-h, --help, -v, --version] are self-explaining, I believe. ;)
+
+So, the usage is simple enough:
+
+[pre >python pyste.py --module=mymodule file.pyste file2.pyste ...]
+
+will generate a file [^mymodule.cpp] in the same dir where the command was
+executed. Now you can compile the file using the same instructions of the
+[@../../doc/tutorial/doc/building_hello_world.html tutorial]. Or, if you prefer:
+
+[pre >python pyste.py --module=mymodule --multiple file.pyste file2.pyste ...]
+
+will create a directory named "mymodule" in the current directory, and will
+generate a bunch of cpp files, one for each header exported. You can then
+compile them all into a single shared library (or dll).
+
+[h2 Wait... how do I set those I and D flags?]
+
+Don't worry: normally GCCXML is already configured correctly for your plataform, 
+so the search path to the standard libraries and the standard defines should 
+already be set. You only have to set the paths to other libraries that your code 
+needs, like Boost, for example.
+
+Plus, Pyste automatically uses the contents of the environment variable
+[^INCLUDE] if it exists. Visual C++ users should run the [^Vcvars32.bat] file,
+which for Visual C++ 6 is normally located at:
+
+    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin\Vcvars32.bat
+
+with that, you should have little trouble setting up the flags.
+
+[blurb [$theme/note.gif][*A note about Psyco][br][br]
+Although you don't have to install [@http://psyco.sourceforge.net/ Psyco] to use Pyste, if you do, Pyste will make use of it to speed up the wrapper generation. Speed ups of 30% can be achieved, so it's highly recommended.
+]
+
+[page The Interface Files]
+
+The interface files are the heart of Pyste. The user creates one or more
+interface files declaring the classes and functions he wants to export, and then
+invokes Pyste passing the interface files to it. Pyste then generates a single
+cpp file with Boost.Python code, with all the classes and functions exported.
+
+Besides declaring the classes and functions, the user has a number of other
+options, like renaming classes and methods, excluding methods and attributes,
+and so on. 
+
+[h2 Basics]
+
+Suppose we have a class and some functions that we want to expose to Python
+declared in the header [^hello.h]:
+
+    struct World
+    {
+        World(std::string msg): msg(msg) {} 
+        void set(std::string msg) { this->msg = msg; }
+        std::string greet() { return msg; }
+        std::string msg;
+    };
+
+    enum choice { red, blue };
+    
+    namespace test {
+    
+    void show(choice c) { std::cout << "value: " << (int)c << std::endl; }
+    
+    }
+
+We create a file named [^hello.pyste] and create instances of the classes
+[^Function], [^Class] and [^Enum]:
+
+    Function("test::show", "hello.h")
+    Class("World", "hello.h")
+    Enum("choice", "hello.h")
+
+That will expose the class, the free function and the enum found in [^hello.h]. 
+
+[page:1 Renaming and Excluding]
+
+You can easily rename functions, classes, methods, attributes, etc. Just use the
+function [^rename], like this:
+
+    World = Class("World", "hello.h")
+    rename(World, "IWorld")
+    show = Function("choice", "hello.h")
+    rename(show, "Show")
+
+You can rename methods and attributes using this syntax:
+
+    rename(World.greet, "Greet")
+    rename(World.set, "Set")
+    choice = Enum("choice", "hello.h")
+    rename(choice.red, "Red")
+    rename(choice.blue, "Blue")
+
+You can exclude functions, classes, methods, attributes, etc, in the same way,
+with the function [^exclude]:
+
+    exclude(World.greet)
+    exclude(World.msg)
+
+To access the operators of a class, access the member [^operator] like this
+(supposing that [^C] is a class being exported):
+
+    exclude(C.operator['+'])
+    exclude(C.operator['*'])
+    exclude(C.operator['<<'])
+
+The string inside the brackets is the same as the name of the operator in C++.[br]
+
+[page:1 Policies]
+
+Even thought Pyste can identify various elements in the C++ code, like virtual
+methods, attributes, and so on, one thing that it can't do is to guess the
+semantics of functions that return pointers or references. In this case, the
+user must manually specify the policy. Policies are explained in the
+[@../../doc/tutorial/doc/call_policies.html tutorial].
+
+The policies in Pyste are named exactly as in Boost.Python, only the syntax is
+slightly different. For instance, this policy:
+
+    return_internal_reference<1, with_custodian_and_ward<1, 2> >()
+
+becomes in Pyste:    
+
+    return_internal_reference(1, with_custodian_and_ward(1, 2))
+
+The user can specify policies for functions and methods with the [^set_policy]
+function:
+
+    set_policy(f, return_internal_reference())
+    set_policy(C.foo, return_value_policy(manage_new_object))
+
+[blurb 
+[$theme/note.gif] [*What if a function or method needs a policy and the user
+doesn't set one?][br][br] If a function/method needs a policy and one was not
+set, Pyste will issue a error.  The user should then go in the interface file
+and set the policy for it, otherwise the generated cpp won't compile.
+]
+
+[blurb
+[$theme/note.gif] 
+Note that, for functions/methods that return [^const T&], the policy
+[^return_value_policy<copy_const_reference>()] wil be used by default, because
+that's normally what you want. You can change it to something else if you need
+to, though.
+]
+
+[page:1 Templates]
+
+Template classes can easily be exported too, but you can't export the template
+itself... you have to export instantiations of it! So, if you want to export a
+[^std::vector], you will have to export vectors of int, doubles, etc.
+
+Suppose we have this code:
+
+    template <class T>
+    struct Point
+    {
+        T x;
+        T y;
+    };
+
+And we want to export [^Point]s of int and double:
+
+    Point = Template("Point", "point.h")
+    Point("int")
+    Point("double")
+
+Pyste will assign default names for each instantiation. In this example, those
+would be "[^Point_int]" and "[^Point_double]", but most of the time users will want to
+rename the instantiations:
+
+    Point("int", "IPoint")         // renames the instantiation
+    double_inst = Point("double")  // another way to do the same
+    rename(double_inst, "DPoint")
+
+Note that you can rename, exclude, set policies, etc, in the [^Template] object
+like you would do with a [^Function] or a [^Class]. This changes affect all
+[*future] instantiations:
+
+    Point = Template("Point", "point.h")
+    Point("float", "FPoint")        // will have x and y as data members
+    rename(Point.x, "X")
+    rename(Point.y, "Y")
+    Point("int", "IPoint")          // will have X and Y as data members
+    Point("double", "DPoint")       // also will have X and Y as data member
+
+If you want to change a option of a particular instantiation, you can do so:
+
+    Point = Template("Point", "point.h")
+    Point("int", "IPoint")          
+    d_inst = Point("double", "DPoint")       
+    rename(d_inst.x, "X")           // only DPoint is affect by this renames,
+    rename(d_inst.y, "Y")           // IPoint stays intact
+
+[blurb [$theme/note.gif] [*What if my template accepts more than one type?]
+[br][br]
+When you want to instantiate a template with more than one type, you can pass
+either a string with the types separated by whitespace, or a list of strings
+'''("int double" or ["int", "double"]''' would both work).
+]
+
+[page:1 Wrappers]
+
+Suppose you have this function:
+
+    std::vector<std::string> names();
+
+But you don't want to export [^std::vector<std::string>], you want this function
+to return a python list of strings. Boost.Python has excellent support for
+that:
+
+    list names_wrapper()
+    {
+        list result;
+        // call original function
+        vector<string> v = names();
+        // put all the strings inside the python list
+        vector<string>::iterator it;
+        for (it = v.begin(); it != v.end(); ++it){
+            result.append(*it);    
+        }
+        return result;
+    }
+    
+    BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(test)
+    {
+        def("names", &names_wrapper);
+    }
+
+Nice heh? Pyste supports this mechanism too. You declare the [^names_wrapper]
+function in a header named "[^test_wrappers.h]" and in the interface file:
+
+    Include("test_wrappers.h")
+    names = Function("names", "test.h")
+    set_wrapper(names, "names_wrapper")
+
+You can optionally declare the function in the interface file itself:
+
+    names_wrapper = Wrapper("names_wrapper",
+    """
+    list names_wrapper()
+    {
+        // code to call name() and convert the vector to a list...
+    }
+    """)
+    names = Function("names", "test.h")
+    set_wrapper(names, names_wrapper)
+
+The same mechanism can be used with methods too. Just remember that the first
+parameter of wrappers for methods is a pointer to the class, like in
+Boost.Python:
+
+    struct C
+    {
+        std::vector<std::string> names();
+    }
+
+    list names_wrapper(C* c)
+    {
+        // same as before, calling c->names() and converting result to a list 
+    }
+
+And then in the interface file:
+
+    C = Class("C", "test.h")
+    set_wrapper(C.names, "names_wrapper")
+
+[blurb 
+[$theme/note.gif]Even though Boost.Python accepts either a pointer or a
+reference to the class in wrappers for member functions as the first parameter,
+Pyste expects them to be a [*pointer]. Doing otherwise will prevent your
+code to compile when you set a wrapper for a virtual method.
+]
+
+[page:1 Exporting All Declarations from a Header]
+
+Pyste also supports a mechanism to export all declarations found in a header
+file. Suppose again our file, [^hello.h]:
+
+    struct World
+    {
+        World(std::string msg): msg(msg) {} 
+        void set(std::string msg) { this->msg = msg; }
+        std::string greet() { return msg; }
+        std::string msg;
+    };
+
+    enum choice { red, blue };
+    
+    void show(choice c) { std::cout << "value: " << (int)c << std::endl; } 
+
+You can just use the [^AllFromHeader] construct:
+
+    hello = AllFromHeader("hello.h")
+
+this will export all the declarations found in [^hello.h], which is equivalent
+to write:
+
+    Class("World", "hello.h")
+    Enum("choice", "hello.h")
+    Function("show", "hello.h")
+
+Note that you can still use the functions [^rename], [^set_policy], [^exclude], etc. Just access
+the members of the header object like this:
+
+    rename(hello.World.greet, "Greet")
+    exclude(hello.World.set, "Set")
+
+
+[page:1 Smart Pointers]
+
+Pyste for now has manual support for smart pointers. Suppose:
+
+    struct C
+    {
+        int value;
+    };
+
+    boost::shared_ptr<C> newC(int value)
+    {
+        boost::shared_ptr<C> c( new C() );
+        c->value = value;
+        return c;
+    }
+
+    void printC(boost::shared_ptr<C> c)
+    {
+        std::cout << c->value << std::endl;
+    }
+
+To make [^newC] and [^printC] work correctly, you have to tell Pyste that a
+convertor for [^boost::shared_ptr<C>] is needed.
+
+    C = Class('C', 'C.h')
+    use_shared_ptr(C)
+    Function('newC', 'C.h')
+    Function('printC', 'C.h')
+
+For [^std::auto_ptr]'s, use the function [^use_auto_ptr].
+
+This system is temporary, and in the future the converters will automatically be
+exported if needed, without the need to tell Pyste about them explicitly.

+                        use explicit declarations instead

+                        directory
+    -h, --help          print this help and exit
+    -v, --version       print version information      
+                        
+</pre></code><p>
+Options explained:</p>
+<p>
+The <tt>-I</tt> and <tt>-D</tt> are preprocessor flags, which are needed by <a href="http://www.gccxml.org">
+GCCXML</a> to parse
+the header files correctly and by Pyste to find the header files declared in the
+interface files.</p>
+<p>
+<tt>--multiple</tt> tells Pyste to generate multiple cpps for this module (one for
+each header parsed) in the directory named by <tt>--out</tt>, instead of the usual
+single cpp file. This mode is useful during development of a binding, because
+you are constantly changing source files, re-generating the bindings and
+recompiling. This saves a lot of time in compiling.</p>
+<p>
+<tt>--out</tt> names the output file (default: <tt>&lt;module&gt;.cpp</tt>), or in multiple mode,
+names a output directory for the files (default: <tt>&lt;module&gt;</tt>).</p>
+<p>
+<tt>--no-using</tt> tells Pyste to don't declare &quot;<tt>using namespace boost;</tt>&quot; in the
+generated cpp, using the namespace boost::python explicitly in all declarations.
+Use only if you're having a name conflict in one of the files.</p>
+<p>
+Use <tt>--pyste-ns</tt> to change the namespace where new types are declared (for
+instance, the virtual wrappers). Use only if you are having any problems. By
+default, Pyste uses the empty namespace.</p>
+<p>
+<tt>--debug</tt> will write in the current directory a xml file as outputted by <a href="http://www.gccxml.org">
+GCCXML</a>
+for each header parsed. Useful for bug reports.</p>
+<p>
+<tt>-h, --help, -v, --version</tt> are self-explaining, I believe. ;)</p>
+<p>
+So, the usage is simple enough:</p>
+<code><pre>&gt;python pyste.py --module=mymodule file.pyste file2.pyste ...</pre></code><p>
+will generate a file <tt>mymodule.cpp</tt> in the same dir where the command was
+executed. Now you can compile the file using the same instructions of the
+<a href="../../doc/tutorial/doc/building_hello_world.html">
+tutorial</a>. Or, if you prefer:</p>
+<code><pre>&gt;python pyste.py --module=mymodule --multiple file.pyste file2.pyste ...</pre></code><p>
+will create a directory named &quot;mymodule&quot; in the current directory, and will
+generate a bunch of cpp files, one for each header exported. You can then
+compile them all into a single shared library (or dll).</p>
+<a name="wait____how_do_i_set_those_i_and_d_flags_"></a><h2>Wait... how do I set those I and D flags?</h2><p>
+Don't worry: normally <a href="http://www.gccxml.org">
+GCCXML</a> is already configured correctly for your plataform, 
+so the search path to the standard libraries and the standard defines should 
+already be set. You only have to set the paths to other libraries that your code 
+needs, like Boost, for example.</p>
+<p>
+Plus, Pyste automatically uses the contents of the environment variable
+<tt>INCLUDE</tt> if it exists. Visual C++ users should run the <tt>Vcvars32.bat</tt> file,
+which for Visual C++ 6 is normally located at:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=identifier>C</span><span class=special>:\</span><span class=identifier>Program </span><span class=identifier>Files</span><span class=special>\</span><span class=identifier>Microsoft </span><span class=identifier>Visual </span><span class=identifier>Studio</span><span class=special>\</span><span class=identifier>VC98</span><span class=special>\</span><span class=identifier>bin</span><span class=special>\</span><span class=identifier>Vcvars32</span><span class=special>.</span><span class=identifier>bat
+</span></pre></code>
+<p>
+with that, you should have little trouble setting up the flags.</p>

+Template classes can easily be exported too, but you can't export the template
+itself... you have to export instantiations of it! So, if you want to export a
+<tt>std::vector</tt>, you will have to export vectors of int, doubles, etc.</p>
+<p>
+Suppose we have this code:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=keyword>template </span><span class=special>&lt;</span><span class=keyword>class </span><span class=identifier>T</span><span class=special>&gt;
+    </span><span class=keyword>struct </span><span class=identifier>Point
+    </span><span class=special>{
+        </span><span class=identifier>T </span><span class=identifier>x</span><span class=special>;
+        </span><span class=identifier>T </span><span class=identifier>y</span><span class=special>;
+    };
+</span></pre></code>
+<p>
+And we want to export <tt>Point</tt>s of int and double:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=identifier>Point </span><span class=special>= </span><span class=identifier>Template</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;Point&quot;</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;point.h&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+    </span><span class=identifier>Point</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;int&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+    </span><span class=identifier>Point</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;double&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+</span></pre></code>
+<p>
+Pyste will assign default names for each instantiation. In this example, those
+would be &quot;<tt>Point_int</tt>&quot; and &quot;<tt>Point_double</tt>&quot;, but most of the time users will want to
+rename the instantiations:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=identifier>Point</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;int&quot;</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;IPoint&quot;</span><span class=special>)         // </span><span class=identifier>renames </span><span class=identifier>the </span><span class=identifier>instantiation
+    </span><span class=identifier>double_inst </span><span class=special>= </span><span class=identifier>Point</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;double&quot;</span><span class=special>)  // </span><span class=identifier>another </span><span class=identifier>way </span><span class=identifier>to </span><span class=keyword>do </span><span class=identifier>the </span><span class=identifier>same
+    </span><span class=identifier>rename</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>double_inst</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;DPoint&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+</span></pre></code>
+<p>
+Note that you can rename, exclude, set policies, etc, in the <tt>Template</tt> object
+like you would do with a <tt>Function</tt> or a <tt>Class</tt>. This changes affect all
+<b>future</b> instantiations:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=identifier>Point </span><span class=special>= </span><span class=identifier>Template</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;Point&quot;</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;point.h&quot;</span><span class=special>)

+The interface files are the heart of Pyste. The user creates one or more
+interface files declaring the classes and functions he wants to export, and then
+invokes Pyste passing the interface files to it. Pyste then generates a single
+cpp file with <a href="../../index.html">
+Boost.Python</a> code, with all the classes and functions exported.</p>
+<p>
+Besides declaring the classes and functions, the user has a number of other
+options, like renaming classes and methods, excluding methods and attributes,
+and so on. </p>
+<a name="basics"></a><h2>Basics</h2><p>
+Suppose we have a class and some functions that we want to expose to Python
+declared in the header <tt>hello.h</tt>:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=keyword>struct </span><span class=identifier>World
+    </span><span class=special>{
+        </span><span class=identifier>World</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>string </span><span class=identifier>msg</span><span class=special>): </span><span class=identifier>msg</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>msg</span><span class=special>) {} 
+        </span><span class=keyword>void </span><span class=identifier>set</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>string </span><span class=identifier>msg</span><span class=special>) { </span><span class=keyword>this</span><span class=special>-&gt;</span><span class=identifier>msg </span><span class=special>= </span><span class=identifier>msg</span><span class=special>; }
+        </span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>string </span><span class=identifier>greet</span><span class=special>() { </span><span class=keyword>return </span><span class=identifier>msg</span><span class=special>; }
+        </span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>string </span><span class=identifier>msg</span><span class=special>;
+    };
+
+    </span><span class=keyword>enum </span><span class=identifier>choice </span><span class=special>{ </span><span class=identifier>red</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=identifier>blue </span><span class=special>};
+    
+    </span><span class=keyword>namespace </span><span class=identifier>test </span><span class=special>{
+    
+    </span><span class=keyword>void </span><span class=identifier>show</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>choice </span><span class=identifier>c</span><span class=special>) { </span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>cout </span><span class=special>&lt;&lt; </span><span class=string>&quot;value: &quot; </span><span class=special>&lt;&lt; (</span><span class=keyword>int</span><span class=special>)</span><span class=identifier>c </span><span class=special>&lt;&lt; </span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>endl</span><span class=special>; }
+    
+    }
+</span></pre></code>
+<p>
+We create a file named <tt>hello.pyste</tt> and create instances of the classes
+<tt>Function</tt>, <tt>Class</tt> and <tt>Enum</tt>:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=identifier>Function</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;test::show&quot;</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;hello.h&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+    </span><span class=identifier>Class</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;World&quot;</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;hello.h&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+    </span><span class=identifier>Enum</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;choice&quot;</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;hello.h&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+</span></pre></code>
+<p>
+That will expose the class, the free function and the enum found in <tt>hello.h</tt>. </p>

+Suppose you have this function:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>vector</span><span class=special>&lt;</span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>string</span><span class=special>&gt; </span><span class=identifier>names</span><span class=special>();
+</span></pre></code>
+<p>
+But you don't want to export <tt>std::vector&lt;std::string&gt;</tt>, you want this function
+to return a python list of strings. <a href="../../index.html">
+Boost.Python</a> has excellent support for
+that:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=identifier>list </span><span class=identifier>names_wrapper</span><span class=special>()
+    {
+        </span><span class=identifier>list </span><span class=identifier>result</span><span class=special>;
+        // </span><span class=identifier>call </span><span class=identifier>original </span><span class=identifier>function
+        </span><span class=identifier>vector</span><span class=special>&lt;</span><span class=identifier>string</span><span class=special>&gt; </span><span class=identifier>v </span><span class=special>= </span><span class=identifier>names</span><span class=special>();
+        // </span><span class=identifier>put </span><span class=identifier>all </span><span class=identifier>the </span><span class=identifier>strings </span><span class=identifier>inside </span><span class=identifier>the </span><span class=identifier>python </span><span class=identifier>list
+        </span><span class=identifier>vector</span><span class=special>&lt;</span><span class=identifier>string</span><span class=special>&gt;::</span><span class=identifier>iterator </span><span class=identifier>it</span><span class=special>;
+        </span><span class=keyword>for </span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>it </span><span class=special>= </span><span class=identifier>v</span><span class=special>.</span><span class=identifier>begin</span><span class=special>(); </span><span class=identifier>it </span><span class=special>!= </span><span class=identifier>v</span><span class=special>.</span><span class=identifier>end</span><span class=special>(); ++</span><span class=identifier>it</span><span class=special>){
+            </span><span class=identifier>result</span><span class=special>.</span><span class=identifier>append</span><span class=special>(*</span><span class=identifier>it</span><span class=special>);    
+        }
+        </span><span class=keyword>return </span><span class=identifier>result</span><span class=special>;
+    }
+    
+    </span><span class=identifier>BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>test</span><span class=special>)
+    {
+        </span><span class=identifier>def</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;names&quot;</span><span class=special>, &amp;</span><span class=identifier>names_wrapper</span><span class=special>);
+    }
+</span></pre></code>
+<p>
+Nice heh? Pyste supports this mechanism too. You declare the <tt>names_wrapper</tt>
+function in a header named &quot;<tt>test_wrappers.h</tt>&quot; and in the interface file:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=identifier>Include</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;test_wrappers.h&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+    </span><span class=identifier>names </span><span class=special>= </span><span class=identifier>Function</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;names&quot;</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;test.h&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+    </span><span class=identifier>set_wrapper</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>names</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;names_wrapper&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+</span></pre></code>
+<p>
+You can optionally declare the function in the interface file itself:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=identifier>names_wrapper </span><span class=special>= </span><span class=identifier>Wrapper</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;names_wrapper&quot;</span><span class=special>,
+    </span><span class=string>&quot;&quot;</span><span class=string>&quot;
+    list names_wrapper()
+    {
+        // code to call name() and convert the vector to a list...
+    }
+    &quot;</span><span class=string>&quot;&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+    </span><span class=identifier>names </span><span class=special>= </span><span class=identifier>Function</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;names&quot;</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;test.h&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+    </span><span class=identifier>set_wrapper</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>names</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=identifier>names_wrapper</span><span class=special>)
+</span></pre></code>
+<p>
+The same mechanism can be used with methods too. Just remember that the first
+parameter of wrappers for methods is a pointer to the class, like in
+<a href="../../index.html">
+Boost.Python</a>:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=keyword>struct </span><span class=identifier>C
+    </span><span class=special>{
+        </span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>vector</span><span class=special>&lt;</span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>string</span><span class=special>&gt; </span><span class=identifier>names</span><span class=special>();
+    }
+
+    </span><span class=identifier>list </span><span class=identifier>names_wrapper</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>C</span><span class=special>* </span><span class=identifier>c</span><span class=special>)
+    {
+        // </span><span class=identifier>same </span><span class=identifier>as </span><span class=identifier>before</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=identifier>calling </span><span class=identifier>c</span><span class=special>-&gt;</span><span class=identifier>names</span><span class=special>() </span><span class=keyword>and </span><span class=identifier>converting </span><span class=identifier>result </span><span class=identifier>to </span><span class=identifier>a </span><span class=identifier>list 
+    </span><span class=special>}
+</span></pre></code>
+<p>
+And then in the interface file:</p>
+<code><pre>
+    <span class=identifier>C </span><span class=special>= </span><span class=identifier>Class</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;C&quot;</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;test.h&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+    </span><span class=identifier>set_wrapper</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>C</span><span class=special>.</span><span class=identifier>names</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;names_wrapper&quot;</span><span class=special>)
+</span></pre></code>
