Read this page: http://boost.org/libs/python/doc/v2/scope.html

bp::scope().attr("entity") = entity;

Take a look at pyplusplus code generator. For example this code has
been generated for
your code, using pyplusplus GUI:

namespace bp = boost::python;

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(pyplusplus){
    bp::class_< CEntity >( "CEntity", bp::init< std::string >((
bp::arg("name") ))[bp::default_call_policies()] )
        .def( "Name"
                , (::std::string ( ::CEntity::* )(  ) const)(&CEntity::Name)
                , bp::default_call_policies() );

    bp::scope().attr("entity") = entity;
}
