This is a bug in your code. test[1,17] is actually test[17] since C++ rules 
for evaluating the expression "1,17" results in the value 17. I would not 
expect C++ to follow python rules and make it into a tuple. Even "(1,17)" 
would still evaluate in C++ to 17. You need, as Ralf pointed out, make_tuple 
or something else that returns a python tuple rather than an expression that 
returns a single int.
