-/**
-Defines new python extension class.
-A `py_class!` macro invocation generates code that declares a new Python class.
-Additionally, it generates a Rust struct of the same name, which allows accessing
-instances of that Python class from Rust.
-
-# Syntax
-`py_class!(pub class MyType |py| { ... })`
-
-* `pub` makes the generated Rust struct visible outside the current module. It has no effect on the visibility from Python.
-* `MyType` is the name of the Python class.
-* `py` is an identifier that will be made available as a variable of type `Python`
-in all function bodies.
-* `{ ... }` is the class body, described in more detail below.
-
-# Example
-```
-#[macro_use] extern crate pyo3;
-use pyo3::{Python, PyResult, PyDict};
-
-py_class!(class MyType |py| {
-    data number: i32;
-    def __new__(_cls, arg: i32) -> PyResult<MyType> {
-        MyType::create_instance(py, arg)
-    }
-    def half(&self) -> PyResult<i32> {
-        println!("half() was called with self={:?}", self.number(py));
-        Ok(self.number(py) / 2)
-    }
-});
-
-fn main() {
-    let gil = Python::acquire_gil();
-    let py = gil.python();
-    let dict = PyDict::new(py);
-    dict.set_item(py, "MyType", py.get_type::<MyType>()).unwrap();
-    py.run("assert MyType(42).half() == 21", None, Some(&dict)).unwrap();
-}
-```
-
-# Generated Rust type
-
-The above example generates the following Rust type:
-
-```ignore
-struct MyType { ... }
-
-impl ToPythonObject for MyType { ... }
-impl PythonObject for MyType { ... }
-impl PythonObjectWithCheckedDowncast for MyType { ... }
-impl PythonObjectWithTypeObject for MyType { ... }
-impl PythonObjectFromPyClassMacro for MyType { ... }
-
-impl MyType {
-    fn create_instance(py: Python, number: i32) -> PyResult<MyType> { ... }
-
-    // data accessors
-    fn number<'a>(&'a self, py: Python<'a>) -> &'a i32 { ... }
-
-    // functions callable from python
-    pub fn __new__(_cls: &PyType, py: Python, arg: i32) -> PyResult<MyType> {
-        MyType::create_instance(py, arg)
-    }
-
-    pub fn half(&self, py: Python) -> PyResult<i32> {
-        println!("half() was called with self={:?}", self.number(py));
-        Ok(self.number(py) / 2)
-    }
-}
-```
-
-* The generated type implements a number of traits from the `pyo3` crate.
-* The inherent `create_instance` method can create new Python objects
-  given the values for the data fields.
-* Private accessors functions are created for the data fields.
-* All functions callable from Python are also exposed as public Rust functions.
-* To convert from `MyType` to `PyObject`, use `as_object()` or `into_object()` (from the `PythonObject` trait).
-* To convert `PyObject` to `MyType`, use `obj.cast_as::<MyType>(py)` or `obj.cast_into::<MyType>(py)`.
-
-# py_class body
-The body of a `py_class!` supports the following definitions:
-
-## Data declarations
-`data data_name: data_type;`
-
-Declares a data field within the Python class.
-Used to store Rust data directly in the Python object instance.
-
-Because Python code can pass all Python objects to other threads,
-`data_type` must be `Send + 'static`.
-
-Because Python object instances can be freely shared (Python has no concept of "ownership"),
-data fields cannot be declared as `mut`.
-If mutability is required, you have to use interior mutability (`Cell` or `RefCell`).
-
-If data members are used to store references to other Python objects, make sure
-to read the section "Garbage Collector Integration".
-
-Data declarations are not accessible from Python.
-On the Rust side, data is accessed through the automatically generated accessor functions:
-```ignore
-impl MyType {
-    fn data_name<'a>(&'a self, py: Python<'a>) -> &'a data_type { ... }
-}
-```
-
-## Instance methods
-`def method_name(&self, parameter-list) -> PyResult<...> { ... }`
-
-Declares an instance method callable from Python.
-
-* Because Python objects are potentially shared, the self parameter must always
-  be a shared reference (`&self`).
-* For details on `parameter-list`, see the documentation of `py_argparse!()`.
-* The return type must be `PyResult<T>` for some `T` that implements `ToPyObject`.
-
-## Class methods
-`@classmethod def method_name(cls, parameter-list) -> PyResult<...> { ... }`
-
-Declares a class method callable from Python.
-
-* The first parameter is the type object of the class on which the method is called.
-  This may be the type object of a derived class.
-* The first parameter implicitly has type `&PyType`. This type must not be explicitly specified.
-* For details on `parameter-list`, see the documentation of `py_argparse!()`.
-* The return type must be `PyResult<T>` for some `T` that implements `ToPyObject`.
-
-## Static methods
-`@staticmethod def method_name(parameter-list) -> PyResult<...> { ... }`
-
-Declares a static method callable from Python.
-
-* For details on `parameter-list`, see the documentation of `py_argparse!()`.
-* The return type must be `PyResult<T>` for some `T` that implements `ToPyObject`.
-
-## __new__
-`def __new__(cls, parameter-list) -> PyResult<...> { ... }`
-
-Declares a constructor method callable from Python.
-
-* If no `__new__` method is declared, object instances can only be created from Rust (via `MyType::create_instance`),
-  but not from Python.
-* The first parameter is the type object of the class to create.
-  This may be the type object of a derived class declared in Python.
-* The first parameter implicitly has type `&PyType`. This type must not be explicitly specified.
-* For details on `parameter-list`, see the documentation of `py_argparse!()`.
-* The return type must be `PyResult<T>` for some `T` that implements `ToPyObject`.
-  Usually, `T` will be `MyType`.
-
-## Garbage Collector Integration
-
-If your type owns references to other python objects, you will need to
-integrate with Python's garbage collector so that the GC is aware of
-those references.
-To do this, implement the special member functions `__traverse__` and `__clear__`.
-These correspond to the slots `tp_traverse` and `tp_clear` in the Python C API.
-
-`__traverse__` must call `visit.call()` for each reference to another python object.
-
-`__clear__` must clear out any mutable references to other python objects
-(thus breaking reference cycles). Immutable references do not have to be cleared,
-as every cycle must contain at least one mutable reference.
-
-Example:
-
-```
-#[macro_use] extern crate pyo3;
-use std::{mem, cell};
-use pyo3::{PyObject, PyDrop};
-
-py_class!(class ClassWithGCSupport |py| {
-    data obj: cell::RefCell<Option<PyObject>>;
-
-    def __traverse__(&self, visit) {
-        if let Some(ref obj) = *self.obj(py).borrow() {
-            try!(visit.call(obj))
-        }
-        Ok(())
-    }
-
-    def __clear__(&self) {
-        let old_obj = mem::replace(&mut *self.obj(py).borrow_mut(), None);
-        // Release reference only after the mutable borrow has expired,
-        // see Caution note below.
-        old_obj.release_ref(py);
-    }
-});
-# fn main() {}
-```
-
-Caution: `__traverse__` may be called by the garbage collector:
-
-  * during any python operation that takes a `Python` token as argument
-  * indirectly from the `PyObject` (or derived type) `Drop` implementation
-  * if your code releases the GIL, at any time by other threads.
-
-If you are using `RefCell<PyObject>`, you must not perform any of the above
-operations while your code holds a mutable borrow, or you may cause the borrow
-in `__traverse__` to panic.
-
-This is why the example above uses the `mem::replace`/`release_ref` dance:
-`release_ref` (or the implicit `Drop`) can only be called safely in a separate
-statement, after the mutable borrow on the `RefCell` has expired.
-
-Note that this restriction applies not only to `__clear__`, but to all methods
-that use `RefCell::borrow_mut`.
-
-## Iterator Types
-
-Iterators can be defined using the Python special methods `__iter__` and `__next__`:
-
-  * `def __iter__(&self) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __next__(&self) -> PyResult<Option<impl ToPyObject>>`
-
-    Returning `Ok(None)` from `__next__` indicates that that there are no further items.
-
-Example:
-
-```
-#[macro_use] extern crate pyo3;
-use std::cell::RefCell;
-use pyo3::{PyObject, PyClone, PyResult};
-
-py_class!(class MyIterator |py| {
-    data iter: RefCell<Box<Iterator<Item=PyObject> + Send>>;
-
-    def __iter__(&self) -> PyResult<Self> {
-        Ok(self.clone_ref(py))
-    }
-
-    def __next__(&self) -> PyResult<Option<PyObject>> {
-        Ok(self.iter(py).borrow_mut().next())
-    }
-});
-# fn main() {}
-```
-
-## String Conversions
-
-  * `def __repr__(&self) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject<ObjectType=PyString>>`
-  * `def __str__(&self) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject<ObjectType=PyString>>`
-
-    Possible return types for `__str__` and `__repr__` are `PyResult<String>` or `PyResult<PyString>`.
-
-    In Python 2.7, Unicode strings returned by `__str__` and `__repr__` will be converted to byte strings
-    by the Python runtime, which results in an exception if the string contains non-ASCII characters.
-
-  * `def __bytes__(&self) -> PyResult<PyBytes>`
-
-    On Python 3.x, provides the conversion to `bytes`.
-    On Python 2.7, `__bytes__` is allowed but has no effect.
-
-  * `def __unicode__(&self) -> PyResult<PyUnicode>`
-
-    On Python 2.7, provides the conversion to `unicode`.
-    On Python 3.x, `__unicode__` is allowed but has no effect.
-
-  * `def __format__(&self, format_spec: &str) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject<ObjectType=PyString>>`
-
-    Special method that is used by the `format()` builtin and the `str.format()` method.
-    Possible return types are `PyResult<String>` or `PyResult<PyString>`.
-
-## Comparison operators
-
-  * `def __richcmp__(&self, other: impl FromPyObject, op: CompareOp) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-
-    Overloads Python comparison operations (`==`, `!=`, `<`, `<=`, `>`, and `>=`).
-    The `op` argument indicates the comparison operation being performed.
-    The return type will normally be `PyResult<bool>`, but any Python object can be returned.
-
-    If `other` is not of the type specified in the signature, the generated code will
-    automatically `return NotImplemented`.
-
-  * `def __hash__(&self) -> PyResult<impl PrimInt>`
-
-    Objects that compare equal must have the same hash value.
-    The return type must be `PyResult<T>` where `T` is one of Rust's primitive integer types.
-
-## Emulating Container Types
-
-  * `def __len__(&self) -> PyResult<usize>`
-
-    Called by the built-in Python function `len()`.
-
-  * `def __length_hint__(&self) -> PyResult<usize>`
-
-    Should return an estimated length for the object.
-    This method is purely an optimization and is never required for correctness.
-
-    `__length_hint__` is new in Python 3.4; older versions will ignore the method.
-
-  * `def __getitem__(&self, key: impl FromPyObject) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-
-    Called by the Python subscript operator `self[key]`.
-
-  * `def __setitem__(&self, key: impl FromPyObject, value: impl FromPyObject) -> PyResult<()>`
-
-    Called by Python `self[key] = value`.
-
-  * `def __delitem__(&self, key: impl FromPyObject) -> PyResult<()>`
-
-    Called by Python `del self[key]`.
-
-  * `def __reversed__(&self) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-
-    Called by the `reversed()` built-in.
-    It should return a new iterator object that iterates over all the objects in the container in reverse order.
-
-  * `def __contains__(&self, item: impl FromPyObject) -> PyResult<bool>`
-
-    Called by Python `item in self`.
-    For mapping types, this should consider the keys of the mapping rather than the values
-    or the key-item pairs.
-
-    If extraction of the `item` parameter fails with `TypeError`,
-    `__contains__` will return `Ok(false)`.
-
-## Arithmetic methods
-
-  * `def __add__(lhs, rhs) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __sub__(lhs, rhs) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __mul__(lhs, rhs) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __lshift__(lhs, rhs) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __rshift__(lhs, rhs) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __and__(lhs, rhs) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __xor__(lhs, rhs) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __or__(lhs, rhs) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-
-    The parameters `lhs` and `rhs` must not be given an explicit type.
-    Within the method bodies, both parameters will implicitly have type `&PyObject`.
-
-    There are no separate "reversed" versions of these methods (`__radd__()`, etc.)
-    Instead, if the first operand cannot perform the operation,
-    the same method of the second operand is called, with the operands in the same order.
-
-    This means that you can't rely on the first parameter of these methods being `self`
-    or being the correct type, and you should test the types of both operands before deciding what to do.
-    If you can't handle the combination of types you've been given,
-    you should return `Ok(py.NotImplemented())`.
-
-  * `def __iadd__(&self, other: impl FromPyObject) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __isub__(&self, other: impl FromPyObject) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __imul__(&self, other: impl FromPyObject) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __imatmul__(&self, other: impl FromPyObject) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __itruediv__(&self, other: impl FromPyObject) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __ifloordiv__(&self, other: impl FromPyObject) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __imod__(&self, other: impl FromPyObject) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __ilshift__(&self, other: impl FromPyObject) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __irshift__(&self, other: impl FromPyObject) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __iand__(&self, other: impl FromPyObject) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __ixor__(&self, other: impl FromPyObject) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __ior__(&self, other: impl FromPyObject) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-
-    Handles inplace operations if possible, falling back to the non-inplace versions.
-    These methods must return a new reference! In the common case of returning the
-    same (mutated) object, you will want to return `Ok(self.clone_ref(py))`.
-
-    If you can't handle the combination of types you've been given,
-    you should return `Ok(py.NotImplemented())`.
-
-## Context Manager
-
-  * `def __enter__(&self) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-  * `def __exit__(&self, ty: Option<PyType>, value: PyObject, traceback: PyObject) -> PyResult<bool>`
-
-## Other Special Methods
-
-  * `def __bool__(&self) -> PyResult<bool>`
-
-    Determines the "truthyness" of the object.
-
-    Note that `py_class!` always expects this member to be called `__bool__`,
-    even on Python 2.7 where the Python spelling was `__nonzero__`.
-
-  * `def __call__(&self, parameter-list) -> PyResult<impl ToPyObject>`
-
-    For details on `parameter-list`, see the documentation of `py_argparse!()`.
-    The return type must be `PyResult<T>` for some `T` that implements `ToPyObject`.
