Are you sure?  For me (GCC 3.3.4), it doesn't compile with the
address-of operator.  Tests in libs/python/test/keywords.cpp and
libs/python/test/args.cpp do not use the ampersand.

Sure.  I have attached a replacement for the Python file.  The problem
is that derived.print_me() prints "base: " some_number, when I expect to
get "derived: " some_number.
