[C++-sig] .def(str(self)) compile problems

[Simon Burton]

Hi !

I'm having trouble getting the __str__ wrapper for my C++ class to compile.
Everything else i've tried works fine (methods/functions/operators), but when I include the  .def( str(self) )
line the compilation fails. Any help much appreciated. I am new to python/C++, but have
done a lot of python/C interfacing.

details follow.

Simon.
