[section Class `default_call_policies`]
`default_call_policies` is a model of [link concepts.callpolicies `CallPolicies`] with no `precall` or `postcall` behavior and a `result_converter` which handles by-value returns. Wrapped C++ functions and member functions `use default_call_policies` unless otherwise specified. You may find it convenient to derive new models of [link concepts.callpolicies `CallPolicies`] from `default_call_policies`. 
``
namespace boost { namespace python
{
    struct default_call_policies
    {
        static bool precall(PyObject*);
        static PyObject* postcall(PyObject*, PyObject* result);
        typedef default_result_converter result_converter;
        template <class Sig> struct extract_return_type : mpl::front<Sig>{};
    };
}}

[section Class `default_result_converter`]
default_result_converter is a model of [link concepts.resultconverter.resultconvertergenerator_concept `ResultConverterGenerator`] which can be used to wrap C++ functions returning non-pointer types, `char const*`, and `PyObject*`, by-value.
``
namespace boost { namespace python
{
    struct default_result_converter
    {
        template <class T> struct apply;
    };
}}

[[Requires][T is not a reference type. If T is a pointer type, T is const char* or PyObject*. ]]
[[Returns][typedef to_python_value<T const&> type;]]

[section Example]
This example comes from the Boost.Python implementation itself. Because the return_value_policy class template does not implement precall or postcall behavior, its default base class is default_call_policies:
``
template <class Handler, class Base = default_call_policies>
struct return_value_policy : Base
{
   typedef Handler result_converter;
};
