I still don't think it solves my problem as in original case the objects 
A and B are created only under C++. I would like to pass the pointer of 
such object, insted of copying them into Queue.Queue in Python and you 
wrote that the objects (A,B) need to be instantiated under Python...This 
time it's more like bad Queue.Queue implementation, not boost.python (as 
CallPolicies don't work).
Anyway, thank you for you help, I appreciate...
