My best guess is that Delaunay is derived from 

  CGAL::Triangulation_2<
       CGAL::Cartesian<double>
     , CGAL::Tds2<
           CGAL::Tvb<CGAL::Cartesian<double>, CGAL::Tdsvb<void> >
         , CGAL::Tdsfb<void>

which supplies finite_vertices_begin and finite_vertices_end.  Since
you haven't wrapped that, and Boost.Python doesn't know it's a base
class of Delaunay, you get the error.  

You have two choices:

1. pre-assign finite_vertices_end/begin to variables (or cast to
   temporaries) of type 

      Finite_vertices_iterator (Delaunay::*)()

   and pass those to range(...)

2. Use the first form of range<NextPolicies,Target>(...) described
   here: http://boost.org/libs/python/doc/v2/iterator.html#range-spec
