I don't understand why do you struggle. The "exposed via an indexing suite" method allows you to modify and iterate over the list using the well defined and documented protocol. If you need to use: * the original function names - you can expose it via indexing suite and then add aliases to the functions * the original function functionality or some unexposed functions - you will have to extend the exposed class. Boost.Python interface allows you to achieve this. void mylist_push_back( AList& alist, const MyItem& item ){ alist.push_back( item ); } ... class_< AList > < register indexing suite functionality > .def( "push_back", &mylist_push_back ) ... >From Python, your user will not see any difference: alist = AList() alist.push_back|( .... ) HTH -- 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
