[C++-sig] Newbie : build & return a new list

[Benjamin Golinvaux]

Hello

I am creating a function like this :

PyObject* testCreateList()
{
	...
	PyObject* newList = PyList_New(...);
	...
	return newList;
}

can I assume that if I wrap it that way :

	def("testCreateList", testCreateList)

Then will it behave correctly wrt references, 
i.e. is doing this :

myList = myTestModule.testCreateList()

the same as 

myList = [ .... ]

?

or do I need to use the manage_new_object call policy ?
I must say I don't understand when manage_new_object needs
to be used.

Also, and this is unrelated, is there a nicer way to create
a list using boost ? 	

I hope I'm not bothering you with my ultrabasic questions. 
If there is some example code I can read to help me going 
from the very simple tutorial to something more complex, 
I'd be glad to read it !

Thank you very much

Benjamin

Long time no see :)

I have admittedly not read your whole mail, but I believe there is a known problem with calling PyFinalize when using boost::python.  I'm sure there's something in the archives about it.
