Re: [Boost-users] [python] converting C++ object to PyObject

When I run the following code

C++:

using boost::noncopyable; using namespace boost::python;

class X : noncopyable {};

PyObject* f() { return api::object(new X).ptr(); }

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(Foo) { class_("X"); def("f", &f); }

Python:

import Foo Foo.f()

then an exception, with the following error string, is thrown from the api::object constructor:

TypeError: No to_python (by-value) converter found for C++ type: class X

Am I using api::object incorrectly, or should I not use api::object at all but do something completely different?

As far as I can tell, the above should work. Could you please file a ticket on trac? Ravi
