Excuse my newbiness if this question is too dumb... :)

I've built a python extension from a C++ class using boost - it all seems to work fine.

However, now another C++ function is receiving a pointer to a PyObject that represents an instance of this "boosted" python class. How do I pick off a pointer to the underlying C++ object from the PyObject pointer?

Boost.Python questions to the c++-sig, please! http://www.python.org/sigs/c++-sig/ Your answer: void f(PyObject* p) { handle<> ph(borrowed(p)); MyObj* op = extract(object(ph)); } HTH, Dave -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
