* `#error BYE_BYE_GOLDEN_SNAKE`
* Removing everything related to 2.7 from ci.yml
* Commenting-out Centos7
* Removing `PYTHON: 27` from .appveyor.yml
* "PY2" removal, mainly from tests. C++ code is not touched.
* Systematic removal of `u` prefix from `u"..."` and `u'...'` literals. Collateral cleanup of a couple minor other things.
* Cleaning up around case-insensitive hits for `[^a-z]py.*2` in tests/.
* Removing obsolete Python 2 mention in compiling.rst
* Proper `#error` for Python 2.
* Using PY_VERSION_HEX to guard `#error "PYTHON 2 IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED.`
* chore: bump pre-commit
* style: run pre-commit for pyupgrade 3+
* tests: use sys.version_info, not PY
* chore: more Python 2 removal
* Uncommenting Centos7 block (PR #3691 showed that it is working again).
* Update pre-commit hooks
* Fix pre-commit hook
* refactor: remove Python 2 from CMake
* refactor: remove Python 2 from setup code
* refactor: simplify, better static typing
* feat: fail with nice messages
* refactor: drop Python 2 C++ code
* docs: cleanup for Python 3
* revert: intree
revert: intree
* docs: minor touchup to py2 statement

* docs: mention PYTHONPATH in installing.rst
When pybind11 is included as a submodule, the user needs to update their
Python module search path. Otherwise, the first c++ compilation command
in docs/basics.rst will fail.
* docs: add a note about compiling the example
This note shows how to modify the compilation command for the example
when the pybind11 source has been included as a Git submodule.
* docs: add a note about compiling the example
Added an internal link to the docs
* docs: updated a note about compiling the example
Also updated the command substitution syntax for consistency
* feat: setup.py redesign and helpers
* refactor: simpler design with two outputs
* refactor: helper file update and Windows support
* fix: review points from @YannickJadoul
* refactor: fixes to naming and more docs
* feat: more customization points
* feat: add entry point pybind11-config
* refactor: Try Extension-focused method
* refactor: rename alt/inplace to global
* fix: allow usage with git modules, better docs
* feat: global as an extra (@YannickJadoul's suggestion)
* feat: single version location
* fix: remove the requirement that setuptools must be imported first
* fix: some review points from @wjacob
* fix: use .in, add procedure to docs
* refactor: avoid monkeypatch copy
* docs: minor typos corrected
* fix: minor points from @YannickJadoul
* fix: typo on Windows C++ mode
* fix: MSVC 15 update 3+ have c++14 flag
See <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/std-specify-language-standard-version?view=vs-2019>
* docs: discuss making SDists by hand
* ci: use pep517.build instead of manual setup.py
* refactor: more comments from @YannickJadoul
* docs: updates from @ktbarrett
* fix: change to newly recommended tool instead of pep517.build
This was intended as a proof of concept; build seems to be the correct replacement.
See https://github.com/pypa/pep517/pull/83
* docs: updates from @wjakob
* refactor: dual version locations
* docs: typo spotted by @wjakob
* Add note that VS2017 requires /permissive- to build in C++17 mode
* ci: test C++17 on MSVC 2017
* ci: args1/2, use args to override max cxx

This commit also adds `doc()` to `object_api` as a shortcut for the
`attr("__doc__")` accessor.
The module macro changes from:
```c++
PYBIND11_PLUGIN(example) {
pybind11::module m("example", "pybind11 example plugin");
m.def("add", [](int a, int b) { return a + b; });
return m.ptr();
}
```
to:
```c++
PYBIND11_MODULE(example, m) {
m.doc() = "pybind11 example plugin";
m.def("add", [](int a, int b) { return a + b; });
}
```
Using the old macro results in a deprecation warning. The warning
actually points to the `pybind11_init` function (since attributes
don't bind to macros), but the message should be quite clear:
"PYBIND11_PLUGIN is deprecated, use PYBIND11_MODULE".
This adds automatic casting when assigning to python types like dict,
list, and attributes. Instead of:
dict["key"] = py::cast(val);
m.attr("foo") = py::cast(true);
list.append(py::cast(42));
you can now simply write:
dict["key"] = val;
m.attr("foo") = true;
list.append(42);
Casts needing extra parameters (e.g. for a non-default rvp) still
require the py::cast() call. set::add() is also supported.
All usage is channeled through a SFINAE implementation which either just returns or casts.
Combined non-converting handle and autocasting template methods via a
helper method that either just returns (handle) or casts (C++ type).
Test compilation instructions for Windows were changed to use the
`cmake --build` command line invocation which should be easier than
manually setting up using the CMake GUI and Visual Studio.
