Thanks for you response ! When you say "that one wrapper helper", are you speaking about the object class of Boost.python, or about a home made class ?

Neither.  I do not recall the name of it, but you can subclass your class from it, then anytime your class has a python object containing it then you can use some getself comand or something like that, it is in the docs somewhere (but I am not in a good position to look at the docs right now, maybe tonight if you have not found it yet).

Found it, it is in the FAQ, apparently the wrapper class I used was one I made, but it talks about how to make it there, and an alternate/better method if you are using shared_ptr: http://beta.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/python/doc/v2/faq.html#xref
