For the free-threaded build, it is not safe use borrowed references. Another thread could deallocate the object and cause the reference to become invalid. Replace API calls that borrow references with strong reference APIs.
Synopsis
Welcome to Boost.Python, a C++ library which enables seamless interoperability between C++ and the Python programming language. The library includes support for:
- References and Pointers
- Globally Registered Type Coercions
- Automatic Cross-Module Type Conversions
- Efficient Function Overloading
- C++ to Python Exception Translation
- Default Arguments
- Keyword Arguments
- Manipulating Python objects in C++
- Exporting C++ Iterators as Python Iterators
- Documentation Strings
See the Boost.Python documentation for details.
Hint : Check out the development version of the documentation to see work in progress.
Building

While Boost.Python is part of the Boost C++ Libraries super-project, and thus can be compiled as part of Boost, it can also be compiled and installed stand-alone, i.e. against a pre-installed Boost package.
