    <h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>

    <p>Defines facilities for querying and controlling the Python scope
    (namespace) which will contain new wrapped classes and functions.</p>

    <h2><a name="classes"></a>Classes</h2>

    <h3><a name="scope-spec"></a>Class <code>scope</code></h3>

    <p>The <code>scope</code> class has an associated global Python
    object which controls the Python namespace in which new extension
    classes and wrapped functions will be defined as
    attributes. Default-constructing a new <code>scope</code> object
    binds it to the associated global Python object. Constructing a
    <code>scope</code> object with an argument changes the associated
    global Python object to the one held by the argument, until the
    lifetime of the <code>scope</code> object ends, at which time the
    associated global Python object reverts to what it was before the
    <code>scope</code> object was constructed.</p>

    <h4><a name="scope-spec-synopsis"></a>Class <code>scope</code>
    synopsis</h4>
<pre>
namespace boost { namespace python
{
  class scope : public <a href=
"object.html#object-spec">object</a>
  {
   public:
      scope(scope const&amp;);
      scope(object const&amp;);
      scope();
      ~scope()
   private:
      void operator=(scope const&amp;);
  };
}}
</pre>

    <h4><a name="scope-spec-ctors"></a>Class <code>scope</code> constructors
    and destructor</h4>
<pre>
explicit scope(scope const&amp; x);
explicit scope(object const&amp; x);
</pre>
    Stores a reference to the current associated scope object, and sets the
    associated scope object to the one referred to by <code>x.ptr()</code>.
    The <code>object</code> base class is initialized with <code>x</code>. 
<pre>
scope();
</pre>
    Stores a reference to the current associated scope object. The
    <code>object</code> base class is initialized with the current associated
    scope object. Outside any module initialization function, the current
    associated Python object is <code>None</code>. 
<pre>
~scope()
</pre>
    Sets the current associated Python object to the stored object. 

    <h2><a name="examples"></a>Example</h2>
    The following example shows how scope setting can be used to define
    nested classes. 

    <p>C++ Module definition:</p>
<pre>
#include &lt;boost/python/module.hpp&gt;
#include &lt;boost/python/class.hpp&gt;
#include &lt;boost/python/scope.hpp&gt;
using namespace boost::python;

struct X
{
  void f() {}

  struct Y { int g() { return 42; } };
};

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(nested)
{
   // add some constants to the current (module) scope
   scope().attr("yes") = 1;
   scope().attr("no") = 0;

   // Change the current scope 
   scope outer
       = class_&lt;X&gt;("X")
            .def("f", &amp;X::f)
            ;

   // Define a class Y in the current scope, X
   class_&lt;X::Y&gt;("Y")
      .def("g", &amp;X::Y::g)
      ;
}
</pre>
    Interactive Python: 
<pre>
&gt;&gt;&gt; import nested
&gt;&gt;&gt; nested.yes
1
&gt;&gt;&gt; y = nested.X.Y()
&gt;&gt;&gt; y.g()
42
</pre>
