+Building with setuptools
+========================
+
+For projects on PyPI, building with setuptools is the way to go. Sylvain Corlay
+has kindly provided an example project which shows how to set up everything,
+including automatic generation of documentation using Sphinx. Please refer to
+the [pbtest]_ repository.

-that binding ``increment`` or ``increment_ptr`` will also create Python functions that don't modify their arguments.

+Although inconvenient, one workaround is to encapsulate the immutable types in
+a custom type that does allow modifications. 
+
+An other alternative involves binding a small wrapper lambda function that
+returns a tuple with all output arguments (see the remainder of the
+documentation for examples on binding lambda functions). An example:
+
+.. code-block:: cpp
+
+    int foo(int &i) { i++; return 123; }
+
+and the binding code
+
+.. code-block:: cpp
+
