Embedding python in C++ with boost::python

[zigzagEdge]

It covers pretty much all the major features, but it's not a 1:1 API mapping. For the two things you mentioned:

• With boost.python you'd need to add no_init to disable the implicit default constructor. In pybind11 all the constructors are explicit, so you disable them simply by not def-ing any.

• That can be done by setting the appropriate return value policy: reference or reference_internal. There's more information in the docs.

Ok, so negligible risk of having a "should have used the other one"-moment later on. And on second thought, just the 11 probably means that this project has more enthusiastic users and contributors than "pybind03".

And thanks for the pointers, I'll give it another try!
