Homepage: http://www.boost.org/libs/python/
Description-en: Boost.Python Library development files (default version)
This package forms part of the Boost C++ Libraries collection.
.
The Boost Python Library is used to quickly and easily export a C++
library to Python such that the Python interface is very similar to
the C++ interface. It is designed to be minimally intrusive on your
C++ design. In most cases, you should not have to alter your C++
classes in any way in order to use them with Boost.Python. The
system should simply "reflect" your C++ classes and functions into
Python. The major features of Boost.Python include support for:
Subclassing extension types in Python, Overriding virtual functions
in Python, Member function Overloading, Automatic wrapping of
numeric operators among others.
.
This package allows development of a Python interface for all current
versions of Python in Debian. Code using this library will need also
one of the Python development packages.
.
This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default
Boost version (currently 1.71).
