  Description     : An object-oriented framework for creating a code generator for Boost.Python library

Py++ uses GCC C++ compiler to parse C++ source files and allows you to
expose C++ code to Python in quick and elegant way using the
Boost.Python library.  It uses the following steps to do so:

- - source code is passed to GCC-XML
- - GCC-XML passes it to GCC C++ compiler
- - GCC-XML generates an XML description of a C++ program from GCC's
  internal representation.
- - Py++ uses pygccxml package to read GCC-XML generated file.

Feature list:

- - Py++ support almost all features found in Boost.Python library
- - Py++ generates code, which will help you to understand compiler
  generated error messages
- - Py++ has more than one mode of writing code into files:
	- single file
	- multiple files
	- multiple files, where single class code is split to few files
- - Py++ will save your compilation time - it will rewrite a file, only in
  case of change
- - You have full control over generated code. Your code could be inserted
  almost anywhere.
- - Py++ will check the "completeness" of the bindings. It will check for
  you that the exposed declarations don't have references to unexposed
  ones.
- - Py++ provides enough functionality to extract source code
  documentation and write it as Python documentation string
- - Py++ provides simple and powerful framework to create a wrapper for
  functions, which could not be exposed as is to Python
