Hi,

I'm sure this is really trivial, but I'm not sure how to handle overloaded static functions with Boost.Python, and I can't figure it out by going through the documentation.

Here's the simple example I'm trying to compile:

#include <boost/python.hpp>

using namespace boost::python;

class Test { public:   Test() { }   ~Test() { }     static bool func();   static bool func(int a); };

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(test) {   bool (Test::*func1)() = &Test::func);     class_<Test>("Test")       //.def("func", func1)   ; }

Error:

src/main.cpp: In function 'void init_module_test()': src/main.cpp:18: error: no matches converting function 'func' to type 'bool (class Test::*)()' src/main.cpp:12: error: candidates are: static bool Test::func() src/main.cpp:13: error:                 static bool Test::func(int)

How do I do this?

Thanks, Dan

Try a static cast to identify the overload you want: BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(test) { class_<Test>("Test").def("func", static_cast<bool(*)()>(&Test::func)); } Stuart Dootson
