Hi everyone, I'd originally worked out this issue by following the guidelines at the python wiki for exposing C++ containers into python. Basically, I made my vector act like a python list. This, however, created a problem for our teams build environment, specifically, that we didn't have python_d.lib to link with. This irritation cannot be tolerated in our environment so, I'm tasked with moving that vector to a boost::python::list object. However, all of my searches haven't returned much in terms of how to use this list object. The vector is of a simple structure that doesn't have anything but primitive types. Because of this, returning the list by value isn't a problem. Could I simply make a wrapper around the function that returns the vector with function that returns the list? For example: std::vector<myStruct>& GetVector() { // important stuff return vector; } boost::python::list GetPythonList(std::vector<myStruct>& structure) { boost::python::list boostPyList; for(int i(0); i < structure.size(); i++) { // copy each element into the python list } return boostPyList; } Would this work? Is it that simple? Thanks, Andy
