/** @file serialize.hpp
 *
 *  This file provides Boost.Serialization support for Python objects
 *  within Boost.MPI. Python objects can be serialized in one of two
 *  ways. The default serialization method involves using the Python
 *  "pickle" module to pickle the Python objects, transmits the
 *  pickled representation, and unpickles the result when
 *  received. For C++ types that have been exposed to Python and
 *  registered with register_serialized(), objects are directly
 *  serialized for transmissing, skipping the pickling step.
