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. -- Roman Yakovenko C++ Python language binding http://www.language-binding.net/ _______________________________________________ Cplusplus-sig mailing list Cplusplus-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cplusplus-sig
