[C++-sig] Wrapping a function that takes class type, such as type_info

[Adam Preble]

I am using Boost 1.47

I have these class methods:

void Remove(const std::type_info &type);
void Remove(const boost::python::type_info type);

I tried wrapping them both in Boost.Python:

void (Entity::*Remove1)(const std::type_info&) = &Foo::Remove;
void (Entity::*Remove2)(const boost::python::type_info) = & Foo::Remove;

class_< Foo , boost::noncopyable, shared_ptr< Foo > >(" Foo", init<>())
...
.def("Remove", Remove1)
.def("Remove", Remove2)
...

(I just tried type_info of both namespaces to be comprehensive here...)

It'll compile and and I'll get that Remove method fine.  Except I can't
seem to cram something into it when I try to actually execute the
subroutine.  Say I have class Bar wrapped in Python too, and I have been
using it fine and dandy.  How do I get Remove() to accept the type of Bar
as an argument?

Say:

foo = Foo()
foo.Remove(Bar)...
foo.Remove(type(Bar))...

I just can't get any love here:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
Boost.Python.ArgumentError: Python argument types in
    foo.Remove(Foo, type)
did not match C++ signature:
    Remove(class game::Entity {lvalue}, struct boost::python::type_info)
    Remove(class game::Entity {lvalue}, class type_info)
