All, I'm currently exposing much of our C++ API to Python and have had much success with everything up to here. I'm running into issues trying to expose a pointer to a vector which holds pointers to instances of a class.
The question is: is there more I have to do to export a pointer to a vector of a class type we've defined? Or is there something simpler that I'm not seeing? I've tried exposing a pointer to a vector, but that didn't turn out well. I was getting value_type undefined errors and could not find any postings on them. Perhaps that way was correct but I didn't not have the whole piece in place. Thanks in advance!
