[section Introduction]
`raw_function(...)` is used to convert a function taking a [link object_wrappers.boost_python_tuple_hpp.class_tuple `tuple`] and a [link object_wrappers.boost_python_dict_hpp.class_dict `dict`] into a Python callable object which accepts a variable number of arguments and arbitrary keyword arguments.

[section Function `raw_function`]
``
template <class F>
object raw_function(F f, std::size_t min_args = 0);
``
[variablelist
[[Requires][f(tuple(), dict()) is well-formed.]]
[[Returns][a callable object which requires at least min_args arguments. When called, the actual non-keyword arguments will be passed in a tuple as the first argument to f, and the keyword arguments will be passed in a dict as the second argument to f. ]]

[section Example]
C++:
``
#include <boost/python/def.hpp>
#include <boost/python/tuple.hpp>
#include <boost/python/dict.hpp>
#include <boost/python/module.hpp>
#include <boost/python/raw_function.hpp>

using namespace boost::python;

tuple raw(tuple args, dict kw)
{
    return make_tuple(args, kw);
}

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(raw_test)
{
    def("raw", raw_function(raw));
}
``
Python:
``
>>> from raw_test import *

>>> raw(3, 4, foo = 'bar', baz = 42)
((3, 4), {'foo': 'bar', 'baz': 42})
