When it is invoked with a different type (e.g. an integer or a list of
integers), the binding code will attempt to cast the input into a NumPy array
of the requested type. Note that this feature requires the

of the requested type. This feature requires the :file:`pybind11/numpy.h`
header to be included. Note that :file:`pybind11/numpy.h` does not depend on
the NumPy headers, and thus can be used without declaring a build-time
dependency on NumPy; NumPy>=1.7.0 is a runtime dependency.

Data in NumPy arrays is not guaranteed to packed in a dense manner;
furthermore, entries can be separated by arbitrary column and row strides.
