[C++-sig] Calling member function of object created in C++ via embedded Python

[John Reid]

If I have you right you might try this:

typedef boost::shared_ptr< World > world_ptr;
world_ptr worldObject( new World ), worldObject2;

...

worldObject2 = extract<world_ptr>(resultObject);


If you pass pointers to objects around instead of objects by value you 
will probably have more luck. The following line as it stands forces use 
of the copy constructor (if worldObject is of type World)
dictionary["pyWorldObject"] = worldObject

For boost.python to work with world_ptrs you will need to tell it about 
them, so add this to the BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE:

register_ptr_to_python( world_ptr );


There may be typos in the above but I think this is along the right sort 
of lines....

John.
