+Thank you for your interest in this project! Please refer to the following
+sections on how to contribute code and bug reports.
+
+### Reporting bugs
+
+At the moment, this project is run in the spare time of a single person
+([Wenzel Jakob](http://rgl.epfl.ch/people/wjakob)) with very limited resources
+for issue tracker tickets. Thus, before submitting a question or bug report,
+please take a moment of your time and ensure that your issue isn't already
+discussed in the project documentation provided at
+[http://pybind11.readthedocs.org/en/latest](http://pybind11.readthedocs.org/en/latest).
+
+Assuming that you have identified a previously unknown problem or an important
+question, it's essential that you submit a self-contained and minimal piece of
+code that reproduces the problem. In other words: no external dependencies,
+isolate the function(s) that cause breakage, submit matched and complete C++
+and Python snippets that can be easily compiled and run on my end.
+
+## Pull requests
+Contributions are submitted, reviewed, and accepted using Github pull requests.
+Please refer to [this
+article](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests) for details and
+adhere to the following rules to make the process as smooth as possible:
+
+* Make a new branch for every feature you're working on.
+* Make small and clean pull requests that are easy to review but make sure they
+  do add value by themselves.
+* Add tests for any new functionality and run the test suite (``make pytest``)
+  to ensure that no existing features break.
+* Please run ``flake8`` and ``tools/check-style.sh`` to check your code matches
+  the project style. (Note that ``check-style.sh`` requires ``gawk``.)
+* This project has a strong focus on providing general solutions using a
+  minimal amount of code, thus small pull requests are greatly preferred.

+# pybind11 — Seamless operability between C++11 and Python
+

+
+**pybind11** is a lightweight header-only 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](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/libs/python/doc/) 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 ~4K lines of code and depend on
+Python (2.7 or 3.x, or PyPy2.7 >= 5.7) 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.
+
+Tutorial and reference documentation is provided at
+[http://pybind11.readthedocs.org/en/master](http://pybind11.readthedocs.org/en/master).
+A PDF version of the manual is available
+[here](https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/pybind11/master/pybind11.pdf).
+
+## Core features
+pybind11 can map the following core C++ features to Python
+
+- Functions accepting and returning custom data structures per value, reference, or pointer
+- Instance methods and static methods
+- Overloaded functions
+- Instance attributes and static attributes
+- Arbitrary exception types
+- Enumerations
+- Callbacks
+- Iterators and ranges
+- Custom operators
+- Single and multiple inheritance
+- STL data structures
+- Smart pointers with reference counting like ``std::shared_ptr``
+- Internal references with correct reference counting
+- C++ classes with virtual (and pure virtual) methods can be extended in Python
+
+## Goodies
+In addition to the core functionality, pybind11 provides some extra goodies:
+
+- Python 2.7, 3.x, and PyPy (PyPy2.7 >= 5.7) are supported with an
+  implementation-agnostic interface.
+
+- It is possible to bind C++11 lambda functions with captured variables. The
+  lambda capture data is stored inside the resulting Python function object.
+
+- pybind11 uses C++11 move constructors and move assignment operators whenever
+  possible to efficiently transfer custom data types.
+
+- It's easy to expose the internal storage of custom data types through
+  Pythons' buffer protocols. This is handy e.g. for fast conversion between
+  C++ matrix classes like Eigen and NumPy without expensive copy operations.
+
+- pybind11 can automatically vectorize functions so that they are transparently
+  applied to all entries of one or more NumPy array arguments.
+
+- Python's slice-based access and assignment operations can be supported with
+  just a few lines of code.
+
+- Everything is contained in just a few header files; there is no need to link
+  against any additional libraries.
+
+- Binaries are generally smaller by a factor of at least 2 compared to
+  equivalent bindings generated by Boost.Python. A recent pybind11 conversion
+  of PyRosetta, an enormous Boost.Python binding project,
+  [reported](http://graylab.jhu.edu/RosettaCon2016/PyRosetta-4.pdf) a binary
+  size reduction of **5.4x** and compile time reduction by **5.8x**.
+
+- Function signatures are precomputed at compile time (using ``constexpr``),
+  leading to smaller binaries.
+
+- With little extra effort, C++ types can be pickled and unpickled similar to
+  regular Python objects.
+
+## Supported compilers
+
+1. Clang/LLVM 3.3 or newer (for Apple Xcode's clang, this is 5.0.0 or newer)
+2. GCC 4.8 or newer
+3. Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 or newer
+4. Intel C++ compiler 17 or newer (16 with pybind11 v2.0 and 15 with pybind11 v2.0 and a [workaround](https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/issues/276))
+5. Cygwin/GCC (tested on 2.5.1)

+// polymorphic_type_hook<itype>::get(src, tinfo) determines whether the object pointed
+// to by `src` actually is an instance of some class derived from `itype`.
+// If so, it sets `tinfo` to point to the std::type_info representing that derived
+// type, and returns a pointer to the start of the most-derived object of that type
+// (in which `src` is a subobject; this will be the same address as `src` in most
+// single inheritance cases). If not, or if `src` is nullptr, it simply returns `src`
+// and leaves `tinfo` at its default value of nullptr.
+//
+// The default polymorphic_type_hook just returns src. A specialization for polymorphic
+// types determines the runtime type of the passed object and adjusts the this-pointer
+// appropriately via dynamic_cast<void*>. This is what enables a C++ Animal* to appear
+// to Python as a Dog (if Dog inherits from Animal, Animal is polymorphic, Dog is
+// registered with pybind11, and this Animal is in fact a Dog).
+//
+// You may specialize polymorphic_type_hook yourself for types that want to appear
+// polymorphic to Python but do not use C++ RTTI. (This is a not uncommon pattern
+// in performance-sensitive applications, used most notably in LLVM.)
+//
+// polymorphic_type_hook_base allows users to specialize polymorphic_type_hook with
+// std::enable_if. User provided specializations will always have higher priority than

+ *
+ * 3. The reference count of an acquired thread state can be controlled. This
+ *    can be handy to prevent cases where callbacks issued from an external
+ *    thread would otherwise constantly construct and destroy thread state data
+ *    structures.
+ *
+ * See the Python bindings of NanoGUI (http://github.com/wjakob/nanogui) for an
+ * example which uses features 2 and 3 to migrate the Python thread of
+ * execution to another thread (to run the event loop on the original thread,
