Ashish,
if you really need it to be a `list` in python, then there is no way
around it, you have to copy it. If you just need it to behave like a
list, then that is possible. Just export your struct to python and
implement methods such as __get__(), __set__(), __len()__, __eq__(),
...
You may also read up on boost python indexing suite (optionally
version 2) and see if that helps you to expose all these methods. If
you write you class very much like std::vector, then the indexing
suite can be of great help. Otherwise, just export those functions by
hand.
