Christopher, I've figured out how you can use mds-utils.
The example is present into the documentation page of the mds_utils::python::FileObj class. So you have foo(ostream& os) and you would like to call it passing a Python file object. You cannot call foo(oFileObj(...)) directly, simply because there is no converter for converting from a Python object into an oFileObj object. So, as shown into the doxygen example, you have to program a wrapper like this one: foo_wrap(boost::python::object pyfile) { mds_utils::python::oFileObj fobj(py_file); foo(fobj); } That's all, and it is quite simple. I hope it helps. Best regards.
