+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 library by
+David Abrahams: to minimize boilerplate code in traditional extension modules
+by inferring type information using compile-time introspection.
+
+This SlackBuild supports both python2 and python3.
