If I were you, I would not export it. In any case Python strings are
immutable and you always returns a copy of the string.

Instead of exposing that attribute directly create a get/set functions
which use "raw" "std::string" in their interface and expose them.

May be "custom converter" could help you (
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/libs/python/doc/v2/faq.html#custom_string
), but I never tried it on such use case.
