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 Build Status Build status

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.
