[C++-sig] help with numpy

[Neal Becker]

I'm trying to use numpy, but stuck.  I think I need to register a converter,
but don't know how.  Here's a test:

#include <boost/python/module.hpp>
#include <boost/python/def.hpp>
#include <boost/python/class.hpp>
#include <arrayobject.h>

namespace bp=boost::python;

static bp::object Test () {
  intp dims[1];
  dims[0] = 2;
  return *(PyArrayObject*)PyArray_SimpleNew (1, dims, PyArray_INT);
}


BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE (test)
{
  import_array();
  bp::def ("Test", &Test);
}

This one doesn't even compile - can't convert 
error: conversion from 'PyArrayObject' to non-scalar type
'boost::python::api::object' requested

If I try
static bp::PyArrayObject Test()...

Then at runtime I get:
TypeError: No to_python (by-value) converter found for C++ type:
PyArrayObject

I want to convice the type system that PyArrayObject is the same as;

type(numpy.zeros(2))
<type 'numpy.ndarray'>
