                Creates a Python callable object which, when called from Python,
                converts its arguments to C++ and calls f. If F is a pointer-to-member-function
                type, the target object of the function call (*this) will be taken
                from the first Python argument, and subsequent Python arguments will

                An argument of pointer type may be 0 if None is passed from Python.

                which was created from the Python object for just the duration of
                the call to the wrapped function, for example a std::vector conjured
                up by the conversion process from a Python list. Use a non-const
