Thanks for your support.

Actually I need to pass data from Python to C++.  I am required to
pass Python functions as part of the structure in a way that these get
executed somewhere in C++.

Now that I know that this can not be done in a straightforward manner,
 I am looking for a workaround. I would like to know whether it is at
all possible to pass a Python function, as data, to C++ using
boost-python. What would be the C++ type of a structure element that
would be able to hold a Python function when passed using
boost-python?

To clarify, if I get the C++ API changed to something like

struct foo {
public:
 int a, b;
 char *str;

 foobar func1;
 foobar func2;
};

What type (in C++) would foobar be so that I am able to pass a python
function for func1 and func2?
