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.

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.
