<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p><code><a href="#def-spec">def</a>()</code> is the function which can
be used to expose C++ functions and callable objects as Python functions
in the current <code><a href="scope.html">scope</a></code>.</p>

<dt><b>Requires:</b> <code>name</code> is an <a href=
"definitions.html#ntbs">ntbs</a> which conforms to Python's <a href=
"http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/identifiers.html">identifier
naming rules</a>.</dt>
<dd>
<ul>
<li>If <code>Fn</code> is [derived from] <code><a href=
"object.html#object-spec">object</a></code>, it will be added to
the current scope as a single overload. To be useful,
<code>fn</code> should be <a href=
"http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/built-in-funcs.html#l2h-6">callable</a>.</li>
<li>
If <code>a1</code> is the result of an <a href=
"overloads.html#overload-dispatch-expression"><em>overload-dispatch-expression</em></a>,
only the second form is allowed and fn must be a pointer to
function or pointer to member function whose <a href=
"definitions.html#arity">arity</a> is the same as A1's <a href=
"overloads.html#overload-dispatch-expression"><em>maximum
arity</em></a>.
<dl>
<dt><b>Effects:</b> For each prefix <em>P</em> of
<code>Fn</code>'s sequence of argument types, beginning with
the one whose length is <code>A1</code>'s <a href=
"overloads.html#overload-dispatch-expression"><em>minimum
arity</em></a>, adds a
<code><em>name</em>(</code>...<code>)</code> function overload
to the <a href="scope.html">current scope</a>. Each overload
generated invokes <code>a1</code>'s call-expression with
<em>P</em>, using a copy of <code>a1</code>'s <a href=
"CallPolicies.html">call policies</a>. If the longest valid
prefix of <code>A1</code> contains <em>N</em> types and
<code>a1</code> holds <em>M</em> keywords, an initial sequence
of the keywords are used for all but the first
<em>N</em> - <em>M</em> arguments of each
overload.<br>
</dt>
</dl>
</li>
<li>Otherwise, fn must be a non-null function or member function
pointer, and a single function overload built around fn is added to
the <a href="scope.html">current scope</a>. If any of
<code>a1</code>-<code>a3</code> are supplied, they may be selected
in any order from the table below.</li>
