Hi
I am using the Unit Test Framework to test my use of boost.python. I
am using a global fixture to initialize the python intepreter a
single time (rather than before each test).
My problem is I would like to use the Python initialising class in my
tests, and I can't figure out how to do this. I don't want to use
normal fixtures since each test would call initialize the
interpreter, causing problems.
Boost.Test does not provide means to do this directly. You can alsays 
mimic some
kind of singleton though:

struct GlobalFixure {
   GlobalFixure*& instance() { static GlobalFixure* s_inst = 0; return 
s_inst; }

   GlobalFixure()
   {
       instance() = this;
       ...
   }
};

...

GlobalFixure::instance().m_member.do_something();

Is this approach used as a global fixture or a test fixture?

Thanks Simon
