| 84 | <h2>Synopsis</h2> |
|---|
| 85 | Welcome to version 2 of <b>Boost.Python</b>, a C++ library which enables |
|---|
| 86 | seamless interoperability between C++ and the <a href= |
|---|
| 87 | "http://www.python.org">Python</a> programming language. The new version |
|---|
| 88 | has been rewritten from the ground up, with a more convenient and |
|---|
| 89 | flexible interface, and many new capabilities, including support for: |

|---|
| 93 | |
|---|
| 94 | <li>Globally Registered Type Coercions</li> |
|---|
| 95 | |
|---|
| 96 | <li>Automatic Cross-Module Type Conversions</li> |
|---|
| 97 | |
|---|
| 98 | <li>Efficient Function Overloading</li> |
|---|
| 99 | |
|---|
| 100 | <li>C++ to Python Exception Translation</li> |
|---|

|---|
| 102 | <li>Default Arguments</li> |
|---|
| 103 | |
|---|
| 104 | <li>Keyword Arguments</li> |
|---|
| 105 | |
|---|
| 106 | <li>Manipulating Python objects in C++</li> |
|---|
| 107 | |
|---|
| 108 | <li>Exporting C++ Iterators as Python Iterators</li> |
|---|
| 109 | |
|---|
| 110 | <li>Documentation Strings</li> |
|---|
| 111 | </ul> |
|---|
| 112 | The development of these features was funded in part by grants to <a |
|---|
| 113 | href="http://www.boost-consulting.com">Boost Consulting</a> from the <a |
|---|
| 114 | href="http://www.llnl.gov/">Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories</a> |
