boost/python/str.hpp

Introduction
Class str
Example

Exposes a TypeWrapper for the Python str type.

Exposes the string methods of Python's built-in str type. The semantics of the constructors and member functions defined below, except for the two-argument constructors which construct str objects from a range of characters, can be fully understood by reading the TypeWrapper concept definition. Since str is publicly derived from object, the public object interface applies to str instances as well.

namespace boost { namespace python
{
  class str : public object
  {
   public:
      str(); // new str

      str(char const* s); // new str

      str(char const* start, char const* finish); // new str
      str(char const* start, std::size_t length); // new str
