	The module is good.

	Here is the problem. The object p does not have any attributes.

	I suggest that you add cout << debug statements to confirm that
	the init_type() and getattr() are really called.

	This is almost certainly the default getattr code running.
	Which only happens, in my experience, if init_type() is not 
	called.

	Make sure you have the latest sources from SourceForge.

	Make sure that the Demo example module works.
