<p>The skeleton/content mechanism can only be used from Python with C++ types that have previously been registered via a call to this function. Both the sender and the transmitter must register the type. It is permitted to call this function multiple times for the same type <code class="computeroutput">T</code>, but only one call per process per type is required. The type <code class="computeroutput">T</code> must be Serializable.</p>
