Without having tried it: You should probably look at the Python datetime C-API and use it to construct DateTime objects, then return these from your methods: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/datetime.html Returning PyObjects should allow boost.python to work its magic. The alternative being auto-magic conversion between your C++ date/time classes and Python DateTime objects, e.g. along the lines of https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_73_0/libs/python/doc/html/faq/how_can_i_automatically_convert_.html https://stackoverflow.com/a/16109416 Best regards, Holger Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg Anstalt des oeffentlichen Rechts Hauptsitze: Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Mannheim, Mainz HRA 12704 Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRA 4356, HRA 104 440 Amtsgericht Mannheim HRA 40687 Amtsgericht Mainz Die LBBW verarbeitet gemaess Erfordernissen der DSGVO Ihre personenbezogenen Daten.
