<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>
|
|
|
|
<li>Keyword Arguments</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Manipulating Python objects in C++</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Exporting C++ Iterators as Python Iterators</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Documentation Strings</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
The development of these features was funded in part by grants to <a
|
|
href="http://www.boost-consulting.com">Boost Consulting</a> from the <a
|
|
href="http://www.llnl.gov/">Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories</a>
|
|
and by the <a href="http://cci.lbl.gov/">Computational Crystallography
|
|
Initiative</a> at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories.

<h2>Note for Python 2.3 users</h2>
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix release only, and is not compatible with Python
|
|
2.3. Boost 1.31.0, which will be compatible with Python 2.3, is
|
|
due out shortly. In the meantime, if you need Python 2.3
|
|
compatibility, we suggest you get a CVS snapshot, either from the
|
|
regular SourceForge anonymous CVS or from our nightly mirror:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@boost-consulting.com:/boost login
|
|
<no password>
|
|
|
|
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@boost-consulting.com:/boost co boost
|
