I can't find any definitive documentation that tells me how I should get a boost::python::object to wrap an existing PyObject*. I guess that there's a way to do it that uses an existing reference, and a way that takes an extra reference.
You can construct a boost::python::object with a boost::python::handle<>. boost::python::handle<> is sort of a "smart" PyObject *. It manages the python object reference count automatically. When you create a boost::python::handle<> you can tell it whether to bump the reference count or not. Given a PyObject *p:
// Use with a "new reference" -- *doesn't* bump ref count. handle<>(p); // Use with a "borrowed reference" -- *does* bump ref count. handle<>(borrowed(p)); Alex _______________________________________________ Cplusplus-sig mailing list Cplusplus-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cplusplus-sig
