<p>
Python is dynamically typed, unlike C++ which is statically typed. Python
variables may hold an integer, a float, list, dict, tuple, str, long etc.,
among other things. In the viewpoint of Boost.Python and C++, these
Pythonic variables are just instances of class <tt>object</tt>. We shall see in
this chapter how to deal with Python objects.</p>
<p>
As mentioned, one of the goals of Boost.Python is to provide a
bidirectional mapping between C++ and Python while maintaining the Python
feel. Boost.Python C++ <tt>object</tt>s are as close as possible to Python. This
should minimize the learning curve significantly.</p>
