Use the metaclass interface:

    // returns a new class
    object make_bar
    {
        object bases = make_tuple(py_cState);
        dict attributes;
        attributes['x'] = 1;
        attributes['quack'] = quack;

        return py_cState.attr("__class__")("bar", bases, attributes);
    };

----------------

While this is very very cool, I think you misunderstand me... I have the
python script, and I want to instantiate a python object of type
MyPythonClass from C++ not define it from C++.

Thanks again!
