Are you also moving to a more recent boost?

Try this instead:

#include <boost/python/return_value_policy.hpp>
#include <boost/python/return_by_value.hpp>

.add_property("theArray", make_getter(&testStruct::theArray,
return_value_policy<return_by_value>()));

If you want to support both Boost 1.29 and never versions:

#include <boost/version.hpp>
#if BOOST_VERSION >= 103000
// use add_property
#else
// use def_readonly or def_readwrite
#endif
