Whats the difference between calling that method and specifying a
shared_ptr in the class_ call?  I noticed the two are mutually exclusive
(getting a failed assertion at runtime otherwise).

I'm commonly using factory methods where the smart ptr is instantiated on
the C++ side.  Mostly using std::auto_ptr.  I once had problems using
a boost::shared_ptr instead (hung on when calling 'del' from python). 
Could that be a related problem?
