Thank you Stephan, a few lines of your code have triggered a lot of sparks in my brain. >template <typename T>

I see that the template function approach is very useful for the number of value-types I have to work with (you guessed right), but I still have problems...
1) on the python interpreter, i have: >>> fvec2 < class '_ext.fvec2' > >>> int < type 'int' >
Is there a standard way to make fvec2 become a real "type" in python, just like int?
2) I still can't do this from python >>> a = fvec2 (4.0,2.0)
I realise that what I may be missing is .def("__init__", ... ) somewhere, but I don't know where, and how to initialize it properly. (
Also, I had to exclude the "swizzle" part(last 2 lines of the first section), because otherwise the program would no compile, but that's not the important part right?
Thanks again,Robert
