+PyCXX is a set of C++ facilities to make it easier to write Python
+extensions. The chief way in which PyCXX makes it easier to write Python
+extensions is that it greatly increases the probability that your program
+will not make a reference-counting error and will not have to continually
+check error returns from the Python C API.
+
+PyCXX integrates Python with C++ in these ways:
+   - C++ exception handling is relied on to detect errors and clean up. In
+     a complicated function this is often a tremendous problem when writing
+     in C. With PyCXX, we let the compiler keep track of what objects need
+     to be dereferenced when an error occurs.
+   - The Standard Template Library (STL) and its many algorithms plug and
+     play with Python containers such as lists and tuples.
+   - The optional CXX_Extensions facility allows you to replace the clumsy
+     C tables with objects and method calls that define your modules and
+     extension objects.
