[C++-sig] Instance access

[fileoffset]

Is it possible to access an object instance from within python?

I am trying to automate a single class that is part of a larger, complex
framework.  My idea is that I could load an embedded python script on
construction of the object, which would act on the 'this' or
'shared_from_this()' pointer. This would greatly simplify my automation.

I have tried it myself but it doesn't seem to work:

main_namespace["instance"] = this;

Is that ever going to work like I would want/expect? Or is there an
alternative or work around that I could use?

Please help! Any information is appreciated
