Python is dynamically typed, unlike C++ which is statically typed. Python variables may hold an integer, a float, list, dict, tuple, str, long etc., among other things. In the viewpoint of Boost.Python and C++, these Pythonic variables are just instances of class object. We shall see in this chapter how to deal with Python objects.
As mentioned, one of the goals of Boost.Python is to provide a bidirectional mapping between C++ and Python while maintaining the Python feel. Boost.Python C++ objects are as close as possible to Python. This should minimize the learning curve significantly.
