[C++-sig] pyste question

i don't think work for me. i'm dealing with a situation where objects can be 
instantiated from both python and the c++ library. what i ended up doing was 
creating simple C structs to wrap the classes i want and then build the 
python classes from C functions (no pyste). works nice.

by the way, somebody should add some documentation warning users not to do 
this:

Foo *f = new Foo;
PyObject *ret = Py_None;
if(...) {
 ret = object(f).ptr();
}
return ret;

it took me 2 weeks to figure out that the python object was being reclaimed 
before it was returned. that ends up in some pretty ugly bugs :)

thanks for the feedback,
