     15 Use the "nondynamic" feature to make a wrapped class behave as a "nondynamic"
     16 one, ie, a python class that doesn't dynamically add new attributes.
     17 
     18 For example, for the class
     19 
     20 %pythonnondynamic A;
     21 struct A
     22 {
     23   int a;
     24   int b;
     25 };
     26 
     27 you will get:
     28 
     29  aa = A()
     30  aa.a = 1  # Ok
     31  aa.b = 1  # Ok
     32  aa.c = 3  # error
     33 
     34 Since nondynamic is a feature, if you use it like
     35 
     36  %pythonnondynamic;
     37 
     38 it will make all the wrapped classes nondynamic ones.
     39 
     40 The implementation is based on this recipe:
     41 
     42    http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/252158
     43 
     44 and works for modern (-modern) and plain python. We do not use __slots__,
     45 so, it works with old python versions.

     71   The %pythoncallback feature produce a more natural callback wrapper
     72   than the %callback mechanism, ie, it uses the original name for
     73   the callback and callable objects.
     74 
     75   Just use it as
     76 
     77     %pythoncallback(1) foo;

     92    c = A.foo(3)

    192 
    193    For example, if you have a smart pointer as:
    194 
    195      template <class Type> class RCPtr {
    196      public:
    197        ...

    200    	...

    202

    204 
    205      %extend_smart_pointer(RCPtr<A>);
    206      %template(RCPtr_A)  RCPtr<A>;
    207 
    208    then, if you have something like:

    210      RCPtr<A> make_ptr();
    211      int foo(A *);
    212

    215      a = make_ptr();
    216      b = foo(a);
    217 
    218    ie, swig will accept a RCPtr<A> object where a 'A *' is
    219    expected.
    220 
    221    Also, when using vectors
    222 
    223      %extend_smart_pointer(RCPtr<A>);
    224      %template(RCPtr_A) RCPtr<A>;

    229      a = A();
    230      v = vector_A(2)
    231      v[0] = a
    232 
    233    ie, an 'A *' object is accepted, via implicit conversion,
    234    where a RCPtr<A> object is expected. Additionally
    235 
    236      x = v[0]
    237 
    238    returns (and sets 'x' as) a copy of v[0], making reference
