[C++-sig] Extending & embedding Python?

Hi all,

I've been trying to use boost::python to extend and embed Python into my
app.
The problem is that I have a C++ object that I want to instantiate and then
pass 
into Python so that my scripts can update it. When the script has finished I
need
to get access to the current state of my C++ object. 

I almost had it working yesterday, however, when my script had finished
running 
the state had not been updated...I think this is because instead of Python 
referencing the same C++ object it had created a new one. Is there a way
around 
this? I've looked through the docs and the documentation but I'm a bit
lost/stuck.

You may wonder why I need to do this...basically I need an
Observer/Observable
setup. I need to be able to get progress information back from the Python
script.

Any help or pointers to docs will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
