    <p><code><a href="#make_getter-spec">make_getter</a>()</code> and
    <code><a href="#make_setter-spec">make_setter</a>()</code> are the
    functions used internally by <code>class_&lt;&gt;::<a href=
    "class.html#class_-spec-modifiers">def_readonly</a></code> and
    <code>class_&lt;&gt;::<a href=
    "class.html#class_-spec-modifiers">def_readwrite</a></code> to produce
    Python callable objects which wrap C++ data members.</p>

    <h2><a name="examples"></a>Example</h2>

    <p>The code below uses make_getter and make_setter to expose a data
    member as functions:</p>
<pre>
#include &lt;boost/python/data_members.hpp&gt;
#include &lt;boost/python/module.hpp&gt;
#include &lt;boost/python/class.hpp&gt;

struct X
{
    X(int x) : y(x) {}
    int y;
};

using namespace boost::python;

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE_INIT(data_members_example)
{
    class_&lt;X&gt;("X", init&lt;int&gt;())
       .def("get", make_getter(&amp;X::y))
       .def("set", make_setter(&amp;X::y))
       ;
}
</pre>
    It can be used this way in Python: 
<pre>
&gt;&gt;&gt; from data_members_example import *
&gt;&gt;&gt; x = X(1)
&gt;&gt;&gt; x.get()
1
&gt;&gt;&gt; x.set(2)
&gt;&gt;&gt; x.get()
2
</pre>
