[C++-sig] boost python and python help

[Ben Young]

I know it is not a major issue, but did you know that free functions in 
boost::python ified modules do not show up in the interactive help.
Looking into this (pydoc lines 558) it appears that for the free functions

>>> inspect.isroutine(function) 
passes, but 
>>> if inspect.isbuiltin(function) or inspect.getmodule(function) is module: 
fails, mainly because inspect.getmodule(function) returns None.

I'm not sure if there is a nice solution, as the functions are of a special 
type, but this can be quite annoying when playing around with new APIs.

Cheers,
