Why don't you report a bug? pyplusplus is developed on Debian Linux. I
think if you send me your problems I can help you a lot. Also I am
testing pyplusplus on windows using Python 2.4.

About documentation - you are right. Right now I am working hard to write it.
pyplusplus has few examples:

  boost.date_time
  Qt.XML
  EasyBMP

All those are libraries, that has been wrote by other people, and
exposed to Python by me.
You can take a look on them.

Template functions: see boost.date_time example. This library has a
lot of template functions/classes. Using pyplusplus + pygccxml it is
possible to deal with them almost painless.
