   \brief C++ facilities to make it easier to write Python extensions
5

6
   CXX/Objects is a set of C++ facilities to make it easier to write 
7
   Python extensions. The chief way in which PyCXX makes it easier to 
8
   write Python extensions is that it greatly increases the probability 
9
   that your program will not make a reference-counting error and will 
10
   not have to continually check error returns from the Python C API. 
11
   CXX/Objects integrates Python with C++ in these ways:
12

13
   C++ exception handling is relied on to detect errors and clean up. 
14
   In a complicated function this is often a tremendous problem when 
15
   writing in C. With PyCXX, we let the compiler keep track of what 
16
   objects need to be dereferenced when an error occurs.
17
   The Standard Template Library (STL) and its many algorithms plug and 
18
   play with Python containers such as lists and tuples.
19
   The optional CXX/Extensions facility allows you to replace the 
20
   clumsy C tables with objects and method calls that define your 
21
   modules and extension objects.

   PyCXX documentation is split into <a

25
   <A HREF="http://cxx.sourceforge.net/PyCXX-Python2.html">Python 2</A> 
26
   versions. The Python 3 documentation is the most accurate.
