The numeric.hpp included in Boost.Python is a joke. It does not use the native 
API.

PyUblas [1] fills this gap, by allowing you to use Boost.Ublas on the C++ side 
and Numpy on the Python side. It is somewhat like what Hoyt describes, except 
for a different environment. Here's a table:

                   | Hoyt       | Andreas
-------------------+------------+--------
C++ Matrix Library | Blitz++    | Boost.Ublas
Wrapper Generator  | Weave      | Boost.Python
Wrapper            | w_wrap.tgz | PyUblas

:) Sorry, that was too much fun to pass up.

Not as far as I'm aware. In fact, I don't know of any uses of sip outside of 
Qt/KDE-related things.
