Yeah, just export View using Ptr<View> as the HeldType.
as if it were that easy! ;)

i followed the manual for that and exposed Ptr<T> as a pointee using

namespace boost
{
    namespace python
    {
        template <typename T>
        struct pointee< Mu::Ptr<T> >
        {
            typedef T type;
        };
    }
}

in a macro that exposes the class to python, class_ is instantiated like
this

class_<ClassType, bases<BaseClassType>, Ptr<ClassType>,
boost::noncopyable > exportedClass(interfaceName, no_init)

where ClassType is an interface class.

the compiler gives me:
