[C++-sig] Re: instantiating python objects within C++

[pj]

I do not yet know the answer to the first part of your question.

For the second part, after you have instantiated the object,

you might call a method (defined by the user in a python program)

with

PyObject_CallMethod(ptrToPythonObject, "<method name>", "<printf like format
string>", ...)

Atleast this is how it worked in old C based extension writing.
