I've looked through the documentation but haven't found anything obvious...

Let's see. You have a wrapped C++ class somewhere? If so, you can write in __main__:

import some_boost_python_module x = some_boost_python_module.some_class(some_arg)

But this is trivially explained in the docs, so you must mean something else...

I believe he wants to do this from C++. I don't know what __main__ is, but I am guessing that his problem is solved by using a construct like this:

scope().attr("key") = value;

which I believe is just a shorthand for

scope().attr("key") = object(value);

This sets an attribute in the importing module. value can be any object that is convertible from C++ to Python, including but not limited to instances of a user-defined classes X with a corresponding class_<X> statement.

Cool. Thanks! -- bjorn
