Binder (fork)

Binder is a tool for automatic generation of Python bindings for C++11 projects using Pybind11 and Clang LibTooling libraries. That is, Binder, takes a C++ project and compiles it into objects and functions that are all usable within Python. Binder is different from prior tools in that it handles special features new in C++11.

Reference documentation is provided at http://cppbinder.readthedocs.org/en/latest. A PDF version of the manual is available here.
