+<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
+<p>
+ <code>&lt;boost/python/call.hpp&gt;</code> defines the <a
+ href="#call-spec"><code>call</code></a> family of overloaded function
+ templates, used to invoke Python callable objects from C++.
+
+<h2><a name="functions"></a>Functions</h2>
+<pre>
+<a name="call-spec">template &lt;class R, class A1, class A2, ... class A<i>n</i>&gt;</a>
+R call(PyObject* callable, A1 const&amp;, A2 const&amp;, ... A<i>n</i> const&amp;)
+</pre>
+<dl class="function-semantics">
+ <dt><b>Requires:</b> <code>R</code> is a pointer type, reference
+ type, or a complete type with an accessible copy constructor</dt>
+
+ <dt><b>Effects:</b> Invokes <code>callable(a1,&nbsp;a2,&nbsp;...a<i>n</i>)</code> in
+ Python, where <code>a1</code>...<code>a<i>n</i></code> are the arguments to
+ <code>call()</code>, converted to Python objects.
+ <dt><b>Returns:</b> The result of the Python call, converted to the C++ type <code>R</code>.</dt>

+
+<h2><a name="examples"></a>Example(s)</h2>
+
+The following C++ function applies a Python callable object to its two
+arguments and returns the result. If a Python exception is raised or
+the result can't be converted to a <code>double</code>, an exception
+is thrown.
+
+<pre>
+double apply2(PyObject* func, double x, double y)
+{
+ return boost::python::call&lt;double&gt;(func, x, y);
+}
+</pre>
