[C++-sig] Re: static const object access?

[Gavin Doughtie]

Happy to help -- I'm not calling PyFinalize() myself. I assume that when 
  Python exits, my static boost::python::object attempts to get the 
interpreter lock in its destructor, but the interpreter has already shut 
down and kablooie...

My current fix is to allocate the static object on the heap and let it 
leak. I quite hate this approach!
