[C++-sig] Re: passing a unicode string from python to c++ std::wstring

[andrew]

As I mentioned in an old thread, this is with MSVC 7,  compiled in 
release mode, with boost_python.lib

It wasn't as simple as just passing a string greater than 7 characters 
that made it crash.  I was using a map in the functions where it 
crashed.  But you'll see that something that works for a string with 7 
characters, does not for a string with 8 characters.

The simplest test case I could make:
http://guinness.cs.stevens-tech.edu/~acorriga/boost/main.cpp
http://guinness.cs.stevens-tech.edu/~acorriga/boost/test.py

Output:
http://guinness.cs.stevens-tech.edu/~acorriga/boost/output.jpg

main.cpp compiled into a dll in case it saves you some time:
http://guinness.cs.stevens-tech.edu/~acorriga/boost/abc.dll

Thanks a lot!
