//! Rust bindings to the python interpreter.
//!
//! # Ownership and Lifetimes
//! In python, all objects are implicitly reference counted.
//! In rust, we will use the `PyObject` type to represent a reference to a python object.
//!
//! Because all python objects potentially have multiple owners, the concept
//! concept of rust mutability does not apply to python objects.
//! As a result, this API will allow mutating python objects even if they are not stored
//! in a mutable rust variable.
//!
//! The python interpreter uses a global interpreter lock (GIL)
//! to ensure thread-safety.
//! This API uses the lifetime parameter `PyObject<'p>` to ensure that python objects cannot
//! be accessed without holding the GIL.
//! Throughout this library, the lifetime `'p` always refers to the lifetime of the python interpreter.
//!
//! When accessing existing objects, the lifetime on `PyObject<'p>` is sufficient to ensure that the GIL
//! is held by the current code. But we also need to ensure that the GIL is held when creating new objects.
//! For this purpose, this library uses the marker type `Python<'p>`,
//! which acts like a reference to the whole python interpreter.
//!
//! You can obtain a `Python<'p>` instance by acquiring the GIL, or by calling `python()`
//! on any existing python object.
//!
//! # Error Handling
//! The vast majority of operations in this library will return `PyResult<'p, ...>`.
//! This is an alias for the type `Result<..., PyErr<'p>>`.
//!
//! A `PyErr` represents a python exception. Errors within the rust-cpython library are
//! also exposed as python exceptions.
//!
//! # Example
//! ```
//! extern crate cpython;
//!
//! use cpython::{PythonObject, Python};
//! 
//! fn main() {
//!     let gil_guard = Python::acquire_gil();
//!     let py = gil_guard.python();
//!     let sys = py.import("sys").unwrap();
//!     let version = sys.get("version").unwrap().extract::<String>().unwrap();
//!     println!("Hello Python {}", version);
//! }
//! ```
