//                          Python interpreter access
//                          =========================
//
// The TPython class allows for access to python objects from CINT. The current
// functionality is only basic: ROOT objects and builtin types can freely cross
// the boundary between the two interpreters, python objects can be instantiated
// and their methods can be called. All other cross-coding is based on strings
// that are run on the python interpreter.
//
// Examples:
//
//  $ cat MyPyClass.py
//  print 'creating class MyPyClass ... '
//
//  class MyPyClass:
//     def __init__( self ):
//        print 'in MyPyClass.__init__'
//
//     def gime( self, what ):
//        return what
//
//  $ root -l
//  // Execute a string of python code.
//  root [0] TPython::Exec( "print \'Hello World!\'" );
//  Hello World!
//
//  // Create a TBrowser on the python side, and transfer it back and forth.
//  // Note the required explicit (void*) cast!
//  root [1] TBrowser* b = (void*)TPython::Eval( "ROOT.TBrowser()" );
//  root [2] TPython::Bind( b, "b" );
//  root [3] b == (void*) TPython::Eval( "b" )
//  (int)1
//
//  // Builtin variables can cross-over by using implicit casts.
//  root [4] int i = TPython::Eval( "1 + 1" );
//  root [5] i
//  (int)2
//
//  // Load a python module with a class definition, and use it.
//  root [6] TPython::LoadMacro( "MyPyClass.py" );
//  creating class MyPyClass ...
//  root [7] MyPyClass m;
//  in MyPyClass.__init__
//  root [8] char* s = m.gime( "aap" );
//  root [9] s
//  (char* 0x41ee7754)"aap"
//
// It is possible to switch between interpreters by calling "TPython::Prompt()"
// on the CINT side, while returning with ^D (EOF). State is preserved between
// successive switches.
//
// The API part provides (direct) C++ access to the bindings functionality of
// PyROOT. It allows verifying that you deal with a PyROOT python object in the
// first place (ObjectProxy_Check for ObjectProxy and any derived types, as well
// as ObjectProxy_CheckExact for ObjectProxy's only); and it allows conversions
// of void* to an ObjectProxy and vice versa.
