[C++-sig] how to extract an instance of arbitrary c++ class from python object?

[Renato Araujo]

Hi Alexey,

you can use this example to see how create converter rules in
boost:pyhton: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/libs/python/doc/v2/faq.html#custom_string

or you can expose you class to pyhon using boost:python in normal way.
