Ok the problem is nothing to do with boost python, but some lack of python knowledge on my behalf. I didn't know about the quirky syntax for construction of 1-length tuples, and was wondering why this argument was being extracted as a string and not a 1-length tuple:
foo( ("str") )
Of course, it was a string all along. thx A On Sat, Mar 12, 2011 at 10:35 PM, Dave Abrahams <dave@boostpro.com> wrote:

Hello,
Given a boost::python object, how can I the difference between that
object
containing a string, or a sequence of length 1 whos zeroeth element is a string? Ie:
"foo" --vs-- ["foo"]
bp::extract<std::string> succeeds in both cases.
I'm shocked. Really? Can you show the code?
