<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p><code><boost/python/handle.hpp></code> provides
<code>class template handle</code>, a smart pointer for
managing reference-counted Python objects.</p>
<h2><a name="classes"></a>Classes</h2>
<h3><a name="handle-spec"></a>Class template <code>handle</code></h3>
<p><code>handle</code> is a smart pointer to a Python object type; it
holds a pointer of type <code>T*</code>, where T is its template
parameter. <code>T</code> must be either a type derived from
<code>PyObject</code> or a <a href="definitions.html#POD">POD</a> type
whose initial <code>sizeof(PyObject)</code> bytes are layout-compatible
with <code>PyObject</code>. Use <code>handle<></code> at the
boundary between the Python/'C' API and high-level code; prefer <code><a
href="object.html#object-spec">object</a></code> for a generalized
interface to Python objects.</p>
<p><a name="upcast"></a>In this document, the term "upcast" refers to an
operation which converts a pointer <code>Y*</code> to a base class
pointer <code>T*</code> via <code>static_cast<T*></code> if
<code>Y</code> is derived from <code>T</code>, or via C-style cast
<code>(T*)</code> if it is not. However, in the latter case the "upcast"
is ill-formed if the initial <code>sizeof(PyObject)</code> bytes of
<code>Y</code> are not layout-compatible with <code>PyObject</code>.</p>
