This header provides the basic facilities needed to create a Boost.Python extension module.
[endsect]
[section Macros]
`BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(name)` is used to declare Python [@http://www.python.org/doc/2.2/ext/methodTable.html#SECTION003400000000000000000 module initialization functions]. The name argument must exactly match the name of the module to be initialized, and must conform to Python's [@http://www.python.org/doc/2.2/ref/identifiers.html identifier naming rules]. Where you would normally write
``
extern "C" void initname()
{
...
}
``
Boost.Python modules should be initialized with
``
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(name)
{
...
}
``
This macro generates two functions in the scope where it is used: `extern "C" void initname()`, and `void init_module_name()`, whose body must follow the macro invocation. `init_name` passes `init_module_name` to [link high_level_components.boost_python_errors_hpp.functions handle_exception()] so that any C++ exceptions generated are safely processeed. During the body of `init_name`, the [link high_level_components.boost_python_scope_hpp current scope] refers to the module being initialized.
