[C++-sig] Re: to_python (by-value) converter

[Simon Ouellet]

to build boost on my linux station I compiled it with the following
command line
%bjam

An error occured when I built the test embedding.cpp in
libs/python/test/

%bjam -d 2 embedding
...found 1959 targets...
...updating 4 targets...
gcc-Link-action
../../../libs/python/test/bin/embedding.test/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/embedding

To built it I added -lpthread at the command line 
g++   -g  -o
"../../../libs/python/test/bin/embedding.test/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/embedding"  -L"/usr/local/lib/python2.2/config" -L"../../../libs/python/build/bin/libboost_python.so/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/shared-linkable-true"   "../../../libs/python/test/bin/embedding.test/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/embedding.o"     -lpython2.2 -ldl -lutil -lboost_python  -Wl,-rpath-link,. -lpthread


After that I make symbolic link of boost shared libraries in
/usr/local/lib/

My LD_LIBRARY_PATH contain /usr/local/lib of course.

And I start the test
%bin/embedding.test/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/embedding

I have no problem running the current version of embedding.cpp.
The output is
Hello from C++!
Hello from Python!


but the test doesn't cover the feature I'm currently looking for.

I modified the test to cover the conversion of a C++ object into a
python::object and it doesn't work.

I attached the diff that I made.


I built the the modified embedding.cpp the same way

When I ran it I got:

TypeError: No to_python (by-value) converter found for C++ type:
10CppDerived


Thanks.
