/** \rst
    Initialize the Python interpreter. No other pybind11 or CPython API functions can be
    called before this is done; with the exception of `PYBIND11_EMBEDDED_MODULE`. The
    optional `init_signal_handlers` parameter can be used to skip the registration of
    signal handlers (see the `Python documentation`_ for details). Calling this function
    again after the interpreter has already been initialized is a fatal error.

    If initializing the Python interpreter fails, then the program is terminated.  (This
    is controlled by the CPython runtime and is an exception to pybind11's normal behavior
    of throwing exceptions on errors.)

    The remaining optional parameters, `argc`, `argv`, and `add_program_dir_to_path` are
    used to populate ``sys.argv`` and ``sys.path``.
    See the |PySys_SetArgvEx documentation|_ for details.

        The interpreter can be restarted by calling `initialize_interpreter` again.
        Modules created using pybind11 can be safely re-initialized. However, Python
        itself cannot completely unload binary extension modules and there are several
        caveats with regard to interpreter restarting. All the details can be found

        freed, either due to reference cycles or user-created global data.
