Add default and converting constructors for all concrete Python types · e18bc02f
* Deprecate the `py::object::str()` member function since `py::str(obj)` is now equivalent and preferred * Make `py::repr()` a free function * Make sure obj.cast<T>() works as expected when T is a Python type `obj.cast<T>()` should be the same as `T(obj)`, i.e. it should convert the given object to a different Python type. However, `obj.cast<T>()` usually calls `type_caster::load()` which only checks the type without doing any actual conversion. That causes a very unexpected `cast_error`. This commit makes it so that `obj.cast<T>()` and `T(obj)` are the same when T is a Python type. * Simplify pytypes converting constructor implementation It's not necessary to maintain a full set of converting constructors and assignment operators + const& and &&. A single converting const& constructor will work and there is no impact on binary size. On the other hand, the conversion functions can be significantly simplified.
