[C++-sig] Getting a Python type object for a c++ type in wrapper code...

[Alex Mohr]

Of course!  That makes perfect sense.  Thanks Nick and Mike.

The only remaining question is if there's an easy way to do this with 
types like python's 'float' type instead of my own.  Would I have to 
create something like boost::python::long_ for floats, or is there a 
better way?

Thanks again,

Alex
