    long_description="""pybind11 is a lightweight header library that exposes
C++ types in Python and vice versa, mainly to create Python bindings of
existing C++ code. Its goals and syntax are similar to the excellent
Boost.Python library by David Abrahams: to minimize boilerplate code in
traditional extension modules by inferring type information using compile-time
introspection.

The main issue with Boost.Python-and the reason for creating such a similar
project-is Boost. Boost is an enormously large and complex suite of utility
libraries that works with almost every C++ compiler in existence. This
compatibility has its cost: arcane template tricks and workarounds are
necessary to support the oldest and buggiest of compiler specimens. Now that
C++11-compatible compilers are widely available, this heavy machinery has
become an excessively large and unnecessary dependency.

Think of this library as a tiny self-contained version of Boost.Python with
everything stripped away that isn't relevant for binding generation. Without
comments, the core header files only require ~2.5K lines of code and depend on
Python (2.7 or 3.x) and the C++ standard library. This compact implementation
was possible thanks to some of the new C++11 language features (specifically:
tuples, lambda functions and variadic templates). Since its creation, this
library has grown beyond Boost.Python in many ways, leading to dramatically
simpler binding code in many common situations.""")
