Note that only the cPickle module is supported on Python 2.7.
The second argument to ``dumps`` is also crucial: it selects the pickle
protocol version 2, since the older version 1 is not supported. Newer
versions are also fine—for instance, specify ``-1`` to always use the
latest available version. Beware: failure to follow these instructions
will cause important pybind11 memory allocation routines to be skipped

Binding final classes

Binding classes with template parameters
========================================
pybind11 can also wrap classes that have template parameters. Consider these classes:
.. code-block:: cpp
struct Cat {};
struct Dog {};
template <typename PetType>
struct Cage {
Cage(PetType& pet);
PetType& get();
};
C++ templates may only be instantiated at compile time, so pybind11 can only
wrap instantiated templated classes. You cannot wrap a non-instantiated template:
.. code-block:: cpp
// BROKEN (this will not compile)
py::class_<Cage>(m, "Cage");
.def("get", &Cage::get);
You must explicitly specify each template/type combination that you want to
wrap separately.
.. code-block:: cpp
// ok
py::class_<Cage<Cat>>(m, "CatCage")
.def("get", &Cage<Cat>::get);
// ok
py::class_<Cage<Dog>>(m, "DogCage")
.def("get", &Cage<Dog>::get);
If your class methods have template parameters you can wrap those as well,
but once again each instantiation must be explicitly specified:
.. code-block:: cpp
typename <typename T>
struct MyClass {
template <typename V>
T fn(V v);
};
py::class<MyClass<int>>(m, "MyClassT")
.def("fn", &MyClass<int>::fn<std::string>);

Custom type setup
=================
For advanced use cases, such as enabling garbage collection support, you may
wish to directly manipulate the ``PyHeapTypeObject`` corresponding to a
``py::class_`` definition.
You can do that using ``py::custom_type_setup``:
.. code-block:: cpp
struct OwnsPythonObjects {
py::object value = py::none();
};
py::class_<OwnsPythonObjects> cls(
m, "OwnsPythonObjects", py::custom_type_setup([](PyHeapTypeObject *heap_type) {

type->tp_flags |= Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC;

auto &self = py::cast<OwnsPythonObjects&>(py::handle(self_base));
Py_VISIT(self.value.ptr());

};
type->tp_clear = [](PyObject *self_base) {
auto &self = py::cast<OwnsPythonObjects&>(py::handle(self_base));
