Re: [C++-sig] need 16 arguments to a function...

Can I change the max arguments limit for methods without recompiling boost::python? I need an initializer for a 4x4 matrix, hence the need for 16 floats.

FWIW, I have used hand-coded construction / conversion code to generate C++ containers ('Vector', here) from python lists, such as this: std::auto_ptr<Vector> construct_vector(bpl::list l) { long len = bpl::extract<long>(l.attr("__len__")()); std::auto_ptr<Vector> vector(new Vector(len)); for (long i = 0; i != len; ++i) vector->put(i, bpl::extract<double>(l[i])); return vector; } May be something similar would work for you, too ?
