<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p>An Extractor is a class which Boost.Python can use to extract C++
objects from Python objects, and is typically used by facilities that
define <code>from_python</code> conversions for
&quot;traditional&quot; Python extension types.
<h2><a name="concept-requirements"></a>Concept Requirements</h2>
<h3><a name="Extractor-concept"></a>Extractor Concept</h3>
<p>In the table below, <code><b>X</b></code> denotes a model of
Extractor and <code><b>a</b></code> denotes an instance of a Python
object type.
<table summary="Extractor expressions" border="1" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td><b>Expression</b></td>
<td><b>Type</b></td>
<td><b>Semantics</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><code>X::execute(a)</code></td>
<td>non-void
<td>Returns the C++ object being extracted. The
<code>execute</code> function must not be overloaded.
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><code>&amp;a.ob_type</code>
<td><code><a
href="http://www.python.org/doc/2.2/ext/dnt-type-methods.html">PyTypeObject</a>**</code>

layout-compatible with <code>PyObject</code>
</tr>
</tr>
</table>
<h2><a name="notes"></a>Notes</h2>
Informally, an Extractor's <code>execute</code> member must be a
non-overloaded static function whose single argument is a Python
object type. Acceptable Python object types include those publicly (and
unambiguously) derived from <code>PyObject</code>, and POD types which
are layout-compatible with PyObject.
